Vibration and noise reduce the perceived quality, productivity, and efficiency of many and limit production speeds electromechanical systems. Vibration can cause defects during manufacturing and produce premature failure of finished products due to fa­ tigue. Potential contact with a vibrating system or hearing darnage from a noisy machine can produce a dangerous, unhealthy, and uncomfortable operating environ­ ment. Recent advances in computer technology have allowed the development of so­ phisticated electromechanical systems for the control of vibration and noise. The demanding specifications of many modern systems require higher performance than possible with the traditional, purely mechanical approaches of increasing system stiff­ ness or damping. Mechatronic systems that integrate computer software and hard­ ware with electromechanical sensors and actuators to control complex mechanical systems have been demonstrated to provide outstanding vibration and noise reduc­ tion. The current trends toward higher speed computation and lower cost, higher performance sensors and actuators indicate the continuing possibilities for this con­ trol approach in future applications.

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book is about Lyapunov-based control of various distributed parameter mechanical systems. In addition to the mathematical theory of control development for such systems and associated simulation studies, the book also includes experimental verification of some control results. … This book is intended as a reference book for industrial control researchers as well as a graduate textbook in the area of mechanical control systems." (Edwin Engin Yaz, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2002 m)

"This book presents recent advances in the application of Lyapunov’s method to the control of distributed vibration and noise. … There have been many books on vibration and noise control … but much of these books do not address implementation. … The book should be of interest to academic and industrial researchers and graduate and advanced undergraduate students in engineering and applied mathematics. The book is also sufficiently broad and self-contained to act as a graduate text in vibration and noise control." (Prof. J. Anthoine, European Journal of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 47 (4), 2002/2003)
