The present state of engineering technologies on a global scale reflects primarily the progress made during the XXth century. Astonishing results and successes have been achieved in many respects, but there is also evidence of a growing number of negative by-products. Up to now progress in Mechanical Engineering has concentrated mainly on developing and improving the scientific basis and also on new design principles for yet more powerful and capable machinery and machine systems. The technical disciplines concerned most, are the structural, kinematic and dynamic analysis and synthesis of machines and machine systems for improved performance, safety aspects, tribology with special emphasis on friction and wear and improving machine resistance to the latter; understanding and avoiding the effects of vibrations and noise on people and on machinery, and, generally, improving the level of comfort and well being of the operators.
