Historical Progression of Mathematizing Vibro-Acoustic Problems

Some of celebrated geometers whom are acknowledged as to be the pioneers of scientific revolution have worked on acoustics and modeling of vibration of structures. They made great contributions on both the physical understanding and the mathematical modeling of these phenomena. The historical stream of physical understanding of sound propagation, foundations of the mathematical background of vibration mechanics and the instruments that reinforced the conceived theory of acoustics led to the advanced concept of modern vibro-acoustic engineering. A historical investigation is made on the early engineering approaches on vibro-acoustic engineering problems to comprehend the evolution of acoustic engineering and its place in modern era.
