From the reviews:

"The book contains a collection of problems concerning the vibrations of rods. ... The statics and dynamics of curvilinear rods, together with basic equations, are presented in appendices. The book can be considered as a problem book for students and engineers who work in the area of vibrations of engineering structures." (Yuri N. Sankin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1103 (5), 2007)
