This brief history makes no claim to be exhaustive, since the topic is so extensive, complex and fascinating that it deserves an entire encyclopedia. Despite its brevity, the book debunks a number of popular misconceptions, such as the belief that the first literary description of a gear was supplied by Aristotle. It disproves not only this myth, but also other peremptory statements and/or axiomatic assumptions that have no basis in written documents, archaeological findings or other factual evidence. The book is chiefly intended for students and lecturers, historians of science and scientists, and all those who want to learn about the genesis and evolution of this topic. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Solid and Structural Mechanics,$x2195-3511 ;$v12 606 $aTechnology?History 606 $aVibration 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aDynamics 606 $aMachinery 606 $aHistory of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T29000 606 $aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15036 606 $aMachinery and Machine Elements$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17039 615 0$aTechnology?History. 615 0$aVibration. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aMachinery. 615 14$aHistory of Technology. 615 24$aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control. 615 24$aMachinery and Machine Elements. 676 $a621.8 676 $a621.833 700 $aVullo$b Vincenzo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0911355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377826803321 996 $aGears$92040919 997 $aUNINA
