About the Author

Dhanesh N. Manik was born in Mysore, India. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Mysore University in 1982, master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Indian Institute of Science (I.I.Sc.), Bangalore, in 1985, and PhD in mechanical engineering from Auburn University, U.S.A, in 1991. He has also briefly worked at Hindustan Aeronautics (Helicopter Division), Bangalore, from 1985 to 1986. He joined the faculty of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) in 1992 and is currently a professor in mechanical engineering. His main areas of research are statistical energy analysis (SEA) and machinery diagnostics. He is a member of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, Acoustical Society of India and National Committee on Noise Pollution Control, Central Pollution Control Board, India. He is a consultant to many projects from industry related to vibration and noise and regularly conducts continuing education programs to industry professionals on vibration and noise. He has authored the book on control systems (Cengage India 2012).

Reviews

"Professor Manik has made the book comprehensive as well as self-contained. It can be used by any mechanical engineer for self-reading and does not require any prior reading or lateral referencing. The book is strong on fundamentals and includes many solved examples for the illustrations."
— M L Munjal (Emeritus), Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, IndiaThe nice thing about the book is that it is laid out in a good and understandable sequence. I would suspect students using this as a text with skilled instruction would be well-prepared to use and understand the existing commercial software if not to tackle and solve problems mathematically. For practitioners, it will serve as a reference. I really like this book. This book clarifies the understanding and modeling of sound radiation by vibrating structural components and systems, which is very important for vibrating systems, including transducers, and noise control design. Highly recommended.
