Abstract
In this paper we review the use of dynamic analysis in the evolution of machine and mechanism design. Our thesis is that the application of analytical methods in dynamics to machines and mechanisms lagged behind the application of these methods to non-machine areas of science and engineering such as planetary dynamics and structural dynamics. The early works of Mertzalov, Den Hartog and Timoshenko are reviewed.
