Daniel A. Russell is a teaching profes-
sor of acoustics and distance education coordinator for the Graduate Program in Acoustics at the Pennsylvania State University (University Park). His research focuses on the acoustics and vibration of sports equipment
(e.g., baseball and softball bats, ice and field hockey sticks, tennis rackets, cricket bats, hurling sticks, golf drivers, putters and balls, and ping-pong paddles). He also spends time in his laboratory developing physical demonstrations of vibroacous- tic phenomena for classroom teaching along with computer animations to explain acoustics and vibration concepts. His animations website (see acs.psu.edu/drussell/demos.html) is well-known throughout the acoustics education community.
