About the author

Iosif Vulfson,  Dr.of Sci., Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation. Born in 1931 in Riga (Latvia). After graduating from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, he worked as an engineer in the design offices of  printing machines and machine-tool industry (1956-1963). Since 1963  he  teaches  at the St. Petersburg State University of Technology and Design. From 1991 to 2004 he headed the Department of Theory of mechanisms and machines. A member of the editorial board of several scientific journals. Authored  over 550 scientific publications on the problems of mechanics of machines and the theory of vibrations, including 11 monographs (published in Russia, Germany and  US), two handbooks and 12 textbooks.
