Series on Stability, Vibration and Control of Systems
Founder and Editor-in-Chief:

Co-Editors:

W B J Zimmerman (University of Sheffield, UK)
Rapid developments in system dynamics and control, areas related
to many other topics in applied mathematics, call for comprehensive
presentations of current topics. This series contains graduate level
text books, monographs, and collection of thematically organized
research or pedagogical articles addressing key topics in applied
dynamics.
The material is ideal for a general scientific and engineering
readership, and is also mathematically precise enough to be a
useful reference for research specialists in mechanics and control,
nonlinear dynamics, and in applied mathematics and physics.
Reporting on academic/industrial research from institutions around the world, the SVCS series reflects technological advances in mechanics and control. Particular emphasis is laid on emerging areas such as modeling of complex systems, bioengineering, mechatronics, structronics, fluidics, optoelectronic sensors, micromachining techniques, and intelligent system design.
