Mechanical Vibration: Theory and Application - Hardcover

HAYM BENAROYA attended the Cooper Union and attended the University of Pennsylvania, earning his Ph.D. in Civil and Structural Engineering. He is a Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University. His areas of research interest generally include mechanical vibration, variational and nonlinear dynamics, and structural concepts, usually in challenging environments. Example applications include ocean structures, aviation structures, as well as structures for lunar surface habitation. His modeling approaches include reduced order and probabilistic frameworks.

MARK NAGURKA attended the University of Pennsylvania before earning his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from M.I.T. His expertise is in the dynamics, control, and design of mechanical and electromechanical systems. He was a mechanical engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon and at Marquette University, where he is professor emeritus. He is an engineering consultant and works with engineering educators fostering an entrepreneurial mindset.

SEON HAN attended the Cooper Union and attended Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, earning her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. She was a postdoctoral scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where she analyzed dynamics of ocean mooring systems. She is currently a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University. She is focused on undergraduate teaching in the areas of dynamics, vibrations, and control of mechanical systems.
