Early history of the response spectrum method

摘要

Once Einstein was asked .... what schools should emphasize. "In teaching history," he replied, "there should be extensive discussion of personalities who benefited mankind through independence of character and judgment." (Isaacson, 2007) [1]. Writing about the early history and formative ideas of a given subject can be interesting and educational in many different ways. It is also difficult, because the record is always incomplete, because we cannot interview all those involved, and because the risk of presenting yet another version of a "Rashomon" story is always present.
