Essentials of Applied Dynamic Analysis

Junbo Jia

The subject of dynamics originated from Sir Isaac Newton’s monograph Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, and Lord Rayleigh paved the way for its further development with his Theory of Sound. These provided the basis for the unique position of the field of dynamics in mechanics. Since then, many scientists and engineers have applied and furthered this knowledge in various fields of applied science and technology.
