The theory of vibro-impact systems that he developed helped create the world’s safest jackhammer and other record-breaking machines. The author has lived through a series of fascinating epochs: experiencing life under totalitarianism, witnessing the Soviet Union’s collapse, and then migrating to Europe as a specialist in his field. “On the Waves of a Pulsating World” is an animated and highly engaging story about the journey of an engineer; from childhood daydreams to creating new technologies, from East to West, and from concepts to realities. It is also the story of people who outshine authoritarianism.Springer Biographies,2365-0613Russia—HistoryEurope, Eastern—HistoryTechnologyVibrationDynamicsDynamicsScienceStudy and teachingRussian, Soviet, and East European Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717090Popular Science in Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000Vibration, Dynamical Systems, Controlhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15036Science Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000Russia—History.Europe, Eastern—History.Technology.Vibration.Dynamics.Dynamics.ScienceStudy and teaching.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.Popular Science in Technology.Vibration, Dynamical Systems, Control.Science Education.509.22Babitsky Vladimirauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1226724MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484693703321On the Waves of a Pulsating World2848401UNINA
