This book deals with fundamental problems, concepts, and methods of multiparameter stability theory with applications in mechanics. It presents recent achievements and knowledge of bifurcation theory, sensitivity analysis of stability characteristics, general aspects of nonconservative stability problems, analysis of singularities of boundaries for the stability domains, stability analysis of multiparameter linear periodic systems, and optimization of structures under stability constraints. Systems with finite degrees of freedom and with continuous models are both considered. The book combines mathematical foundation with interesting classical and modern mechanical problems.

A number of mechanical problems illustrating how bifurcations and singularities change the behavior of systems and lead to new physical phenomena are discussed. Among these problems, the authors consider systems of rotating bodies, tubes conveying fluid, elastic columns under the action of periodic and follower forces, optimization problems for conservative systems, etc. The methods presented are constructive and easy to implement in computer programs.

Book reviews

"The book is an excellent and most valuable contribution, which I warmly recommend to graduate students and university professors, as well as to researchers and industrial engineers interested in multiparameter stability theory and its applications in mechanics. I expect that this book will serve as an inspiration for studies of new problems, effects, and phenomena associated with instabilities, and that it will provide a new entry to classical problems as well."

"... it is a very important and high-quality book. It represents a major contribution to the multi-parameter bifurcation theory of eigenvalues. Since Bolotin's pioneering book on nonconservation problems on the theory of elastic stability, not many books appeared at such a high level, such as this one. It beautifully summarizes the results of the authors' investigations performed for decades. The authors successfully analyze singularities of stability boundaries and provide consistent and in-depth descriptions of several most interesting mechanical effects. These include gyroscopic stabilization, instability transfer between the eigenvalue branches, paradox of destabilization by a small damping, disappearance of flutter instability, parametric resonance in periodically excited systems, to name a few."
