This text develops Rayleigh's principle in a manner that provides upper and lower estimates of the true value, so that frequencies and critical loads can be determined with close and known degrees of approximation, well within the degree of accuracy usually demanded in engineering problems. Its presentation is accompanied by illustrative examples and rigorous proofs.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by Columbia University Press, 1933.
