Mechanics as a fundamental science in Physics and in Engineering
deals with interactions of forces resulting in motion and
deformation of material bodies. Similar to other sciences Mechanics
serves in the world of Physics and in that of Engineering in a
di?erent way, in spite of many and increasing inter- pendencies.
Machines and mechanisms are for physicists tools for cognition and
research, for engineers they are the objectives of research,
according to a famous statement of the Frankfurt physicist and
biologist Friedrich Dessauer. Physicists apply machines to support
their questions to Nature with the goal of new insights into our
physical world. Engineers apply physical knowledge to support the
realization process of their ideas and their intuition. Physics is
an analytical Science searching for answers to questions concerning
the world around us. Engineering is a synthetic Science, where the
physical and ma- ematical fundamentals play the role of a kind of
reinsurance with respect to a really functioning and e?ciently
operating machine. Engineering is also an iterative Science
resulting in typical long-time evolutions of their products, but
also in terms of the relatively short-time developments of
improving an existing product or in developing a new one. Every
physical or mathematical Science has to face these properties by
developing on their side new methods, new practice-proved
algorithms up to new fundamentals adaptable to new technological
developments. This is as a matter of fact also true for the ?eld of
Mechanics.
