琼斯在1922年第一次运用了“配合力”这个词。为了研究配合力,达维斯在1927年提出了顶交法,而斯敏特在1929年提出了轮交法。斯勃莱格和德图姆在1942年把配合力概念分为两种:一般配合力和特殊配合力,并拟定了计算它们的数学模式。这些数式成功地应用了十多年,并且在格里芬克(1956)、达尼耶尔 Jones first used the word “cohesion” in 1922. In order to study the cohesion, Davis proposed the top-diplomacy in 1927, and in 1929 Schmidt proposed the turn-based approach. In 1942 Spreuge and Durum divided the concept of co-operative forces into two types: general cohesion and special cohesion, and devised mathematical models for calculating them. These formulas have been successfully applied for more than a decade, and in Griffin (1956), Danielle
