✦ Synopsis

For discrete, linear elastic systems in free vibration, the force equations are investigated under relativistic ,transformations. Since their solutions must correlate with those of the modal equations for all reference systems, they are required to be invariant. This is only possible if the system dynamical forces are dilated by the relativistic motion; the result is a mathematical requirement for forcedilation in special relativity theory.
