What is Synchronization of Mechanical Systems (Nonlinear Science, 46) about?

Synchronization is everywhere! This is the feeling one may get once alerted for it. Everyone is familiar with all kinds of biological rhythms ('biological clocks') that create some kind of conformity in time and in nature. This includes for instance neural activity and brain activity, but also the cardiac vascular system. Clearly, there are numerous other examples to be mentioned, sometimes much more controversial like the claimed synchronicity of the monthly period of nuns in a cloister, and so on. Synchronous motion was probably first reported by Huygens (1673), where he describes an experiment of two (marine) pendulum clocks hanging on a light weighted beam, and which exhibit (anti-)frequency synchronization after a short period of time. Synchronized sound in nearby organ tubes was reported by Rayleigh in 1877, who observed similar effects for two electrically or mechanically connected tuning forks. In the last century synchronization received a lot of attention in the Russian scientific community since it was observed in balanced and rotors and vibro-exciters. Perhaps an enlightening potential new application for coordinated motion is in the use of hundreds of piezo-actuators i
