Dr. Greenspon received his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees from The Johns Hopkins University. While studying for his doctoral degree, he also taught Applied Mechanics for several years at the University. Upon completion of his course work, he was employed by the David Taylor Model Basin to do studies on ship vibrations. He completed the original research for his doctoral thesis in vibrations of thick cylindrical shells.
He subsequently worked for the Martin Marietta Corporation doing research in panel flutter. He established a consultancy firm-JG Engineering Research Associates-and continued doing research under contract to the United States Army and Navy, in the areas of vibrations, sound radiation, and structures subject to blast and fragmentation.
Dr. Greenspon was awarded the Silver Medal in Engineering Acoustics by The Acoustical Society of America for the solution of underwater radiation and scattering problems. He also served as an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America for 20 years. He was a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Dr. Greenspon passed away in February 2011, a few months before the publication of this book.
