  • Prof. Bernard Budiansky
    Professor Bernard Budiansky (1925 – 1999) On this and the next page: A Biographical Memoir by Professor James R. Rice, et al, written in 2000 Memorial Minute on the life and services of the late Professor Bernard Budiansky, Gordon McKay Professor of Structural Mechanics, Emeritus, and Abbott and James Lawrence Professor of Engineering, Emeritus Bernard Budiansky was an unabashed enthusiast about his profession, family, friends, and many other good things in life. He made innovative contributions to nearly every subfield of solid mechanics — the science of how materials and structures stretch, shake, buckle and break. His work as an applied mathematician and mechanical engineer strongly influenced structural engineering and materials technology, and even seismology and biomechanics. He died from cancer at 73 years on 23 January 1999. Bernie was born in New York on 8 March 1925 to Russian immigrant parents who soon separated, and was raised by his mother and grandfather. He obtained a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from CCNY in 1944 when he was barely over 19, a remarkable fact which, characteristically, none of us ever recall his mentioning. He was a child of the heroic era of large engineering structures, and his love of structural mechanics was to be lifelong. But while at CCNY he became equally enamored with mathematics and physics, and could not fail to be attracted by the then new challenges of aeronautical structural mechanics. Accordingly, he jumped at a first job offer as an aeronautical research scientist with a newly formed unit of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, forerunner to NASA) at Langley, Virginia, concerned with high speed flight.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WILLIS H. FLYGARE 1936– 1981 A Biographical Memoir by DAVID CHANDLER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 86 PUBLISHED 2005 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. WILLIS H. FLYGARE July 24, 1936–May 18, 1981 BY DAVID CHANDLER AY 18, 1981, WAS a rainy morning in Urbana, Illinois. MMy phone rang. It was Peter Beak. “Bill died,” he said. “Bill” was Willis H. Flygare. He was a closest friend to Peter Beak, a mentor to me, husband of Ruth, and father of Karna, John, Amy, and Sarah. He was 44 years old. He was a great physical chemist. He died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; in America often called Lou Gehrig’s disease). Over the next two years the American Chemical Society would hold a memorial symposium honoring Bill Flygare, and both the Journal of Chemical Physics (vol. 78, no. 6) and the Journal of Physical Chemistry (vol. 87, no. 12), the primary physical chemistry publications of that time, would produce large memorial issues honoring him. The issue of the Journal of Chemical Physics alone contained 117 origi- nal research articles written by scientists throughout the world, filling 965 journal pages covering every imaginable facet of research in physical chemistry. It was the largest single issue of its kind, an unprecedented outpouring of respect and gratitude reflecting the significance of Bill’s life. He was a remarkably productive and influential scientist. He was charismatic.

  • Bulk Self-Diffusion in Single Crystal Alpha Hafnium-2.1% Zirconium
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF BERNARD ERIC DAVIS for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING in (MATERIALS SCIENCE) presented on p ic(10 (Major) (Date) Title: BULK SELF-DIFFUSION IN SINGLE CRYSTAL ALPHA HAFNIUM-2.1% ZIRCONIUM Abstract approved:Redacted for privacy Dr. William D. McMullen Coefficients for the diffusion of Hf181(43 day half-life, main gamma peak at 482 key) were measured in the [0001] and [1120] directions in oriented single crystals of HCP Hf-2. 1 wt % Zr over a temperature range of 1074 °C to 1610 °C. A lathe sectioning tech-, nique was used in conjunction with the thin-film solution. Self-diffusion coefficients at temperatures between 1220° C and 1610°C for diffusion parallel and perpendicular to the c axis, respec, tively, may be expressed as follows. D = 0.86 exp [(-88,400_± 3, 200) /RT] c sec lic = 0.28 exp [( -83, 200 ± 4, 800)/R,T]cm2/sec is These results are probably valid for lattice diffusion.They agree with rules-of-thumb applicable to the "normal" self-diffusion be- havior found in most metals but disagree with previously reported self-diffusion data for polycrystalline, alpha Hf, Zr and Ti which indicate anomalous self-diffusion behavior. Below 1220 0 C the Arrhenius plot bends upward and, because of scatter, the data are only approximated by the following expressions. -11 2 D = 7.1 x 10 exp [(-20, 300 6, 400) /RT] cm/sec Ilc -10 D =8. 9 x 10 exp [(-24, 900 ± 13,200)/RT] c sec c The low temperature results probably do not represent Harrison's type A diffusion but are significantly influenced by short-circuiting.

  • Ehrenreich Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on December 15, 2009, the following tribute to the life and service of the late Henry Ehrenreich was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. HENRY EHRENREICH BORN: May 11, 1928 DIED: January 20, 2008 Henry Ehrenreich was born in Frankfurt on May 11, 1928, the only child of Frieda and Nathan—a prominent pianist, choral conductor, and music critic. It was not an auspicious time to be born a Jew in Germany. First, in 1934, Henry’s father lost his positions. Then, in November 1938, a week after Kristallnacht, he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau. A few weeks later, on December 7, 1938, he was released with orders to leave Germany immediately. On December 17, after a series of operations for injuries sustained at Dachau, he fled to a refugee camp in Holland. Henry recalled all these events vividly. Six months after Nathan fled, on June 20, 1939, Frieda entrusted 11-year-old Henry to the Kindertransport, the rescue mission that delivered about 10,000 children from Nazi Germany to foster homes in England during the nine months preceding World War II. The visa on which Henry traveled, and which saved his life, had been issued to a distant cousin whose family passed it on to Henry when they decided to stick together. In the following months, Henry was sent from a children’s refugee camp in Margate to a Bayswater boarding school to a foster home in London. When not in school, he and two friends from the Kindertransport practiced English and explored the London Tube.
