"This book constitutes the first six chapters of what, with Volume II, is to be a text with a total of 13 chapters. The 6 chapters at hand comprise a careful and focused review of the central concern of the author's research for more than 3 decades: the problems of oscillation and general structural instability induced by the axial flow in and around pipes, the representative paradigmatic example being the "fire hose" or jet-follower instability problem. While avoiding a claim of exhaustive treatment, the text does in fact offer a very detailed, thorough and exacting analytic and bibliographical coverage of many aspects of axial-flow pipe problems, certainly more than any other text. ... The work is clearly a labor of sustained dedication and care. The author has enlivened it in places with brief anecdotal material from practical situations. As he hints, he does not wish to risk boring the reader. He aims the text at engineers and applied mathematicians, especially researchers and practicing professionals. All of these should welcome it as an unusual, responsible, and highly valuable reference." -Robert H. Scanlan, Journal of Fluids and Structures "This book is the first of two volumes that focus on the fundamentals of flow-induced vibrations. Both the causes of vibrations and the symptoms are discussed, along with some long-term preventive measures. The author stresses the benefits of discovering the source of the vibration and solving the vibration problems rather than adding a buffer to reduce vibratory effects. The text begins with a general overview of the topic and a classification of flow-induced vibrations. A brief description of the contents of volume 2 is also given." -Civil Engineering, June 1999 "a very fine book . . . not only is the scientific-technical content of high caliber, also the style of reporting is commendable, sometimes being outright funny and/or bordering on the artistic." --Professor Geir Moe, Texas A&M, U.S.A.
