A survey of fractional calculus for structural dynamics applications

Fractional calculus is the term given to mathematics involving integral and differential terms of non-integer order. The concept of fractional calculus followed only shortly supervened the development of calculus itself,but the development of practical applications has proceeded only slowly. There is a small group of structural dynamics problems for which fractional calculus has been adopted and may prove to be the preferred analysis method. This paper presents a summary of applications of fractional calculus and a bibliography of current references.
