About the Author
Jon Juel Thomsen is Ph.D. (1988) and dr.techn. (2003) in mechanical vibrations
and dynamics and associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark,
Department of Mechanical Engineering. He has authored 100+ peer-reviewed
scientific publications, covering many aspects of theoretical and experimental
vibration analysis, in particular nonlinear effects and analysis and has 30+ years of
experience in university teaching in advanced and basic vibration theory, dynamics,
computer modeling, and experimental mechanics. He has been engaged in fundamental and applied research with a special focus on the description, analysis and
synthesis of nonlinear phenomena, e.g. vibration suppression using nonlinearity,
object transport using vibrations, non-trivial effects of high-frequency excitation,
deterministic chaos, wave propagation in periodic media, discontinuous processes
(e.g., vibro-impact, friction, clearance), fluid flow affected vibrations, vibration
analysis for non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring, and nonlinear
modal interaction; see more at www.staff.dtu.dk/jjth.
