Engineers and scientists known for the theory behind machines, including kinematics, the vibration of nonlinear systems, the dynamics of machines and the continuum mechanics of solids. Their equations and textbooks are taught in engineering courses on machines, vibration and the strength of materials, and they are remembered for an equation, a theory or a founding textbook more than for any machine. Inventors of particular machines sit in other groups.
