The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell
Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 161 (2002) 1–26 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) 10.1007/s002050100178 The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell III J. M. Ball & R. D. James Editors 1. Introduction Clifford Truesdell was an extraordinary figure of 20th century science. Through his own contributions and an unparalleled ability to absorb and organize the work of previous generations, he became pre-eminent in the development of continuum mechanics in the decades following the Second World War. A prolific and scholarly writer, whose lucid and pungent style attracted many talented young people to the field, he forcefully articulated a view of the importance and philosophy of ‘rational mechanics’ that became identified with his name. He was born on 18 February 1919 in Los Angeles, graduating from Polytechnic High School in 1936. Before going to university he spent two years at Oxford and traveling elsewhere in Europe. There he improved his knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek and became proficient in German, French and Italian.These language skills would later prove valuable in his mathematical and historical research. Truesdell was an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology, where he obtained B.S. degrees in Physics and Mathematics in 1941 and an M.S. in Math- ematics in 1942. He obtained a Certificate in Mechanics from Brown University in 1942, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton in 1943. From 1944–1946 he was a Staff Member of the Radiation Laboratory at MIT, moving to become Chief of the Theoretical Mechanics Subdivision of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Labo- ratory in White Oak, Maryland, from 1946–1948, and then Head of the Theoretical Mechanics Section of the U.S. -
Constrained Optimization on Manifolds
Constrained Optimization on Manifolds Von der Universit¨atBayreuth zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigte Abhandlung von Juli´anOrtiz aus Bogot´a 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Anton Schiela 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Oliver Sander 3. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Lars Gr¨une Tag der Einreichung: 23.07.2020 Tag des Kolloquiums: 26.11.2020 Zusammenfassung Optimierungsprobleme sind Bestandteil vieler mathematischer Anwendungen. Die herausfordernd- sten Optimierungsprobleme ergeben sich dabei, wenn hoch nichtlineare Probleme gel¨ostwerden m¨ussen. Daher ist es von Vorteil, gegebene nichtlineare Strukturen zu nutzen, wof¨urdie Op- timierung auf nichtlinearen Mannigfaltigkeiten einen geeigneten Rahmen bietet. Es ergeben sich zahlreiche Anwendungsf¨alle,zum Beispiel bei nichtlinearen Problemen der Linearen Algebra, bei der nichtlinearen Mechanik etc. Im Fall der nichtlinearen Mechanik ist es das Ziel, Spezifika der Struktur zu erhalten, wie beispielsweise Orientierung, Inkompressibilit¨atoder Nicht-Ausdehnbarkeit, wie es bei elastischen St¨aben der Fall ist. Außerdem k¨onnensich zus¨atzliche Nebenbedingungen ergeben, wie im wichtigen Fall der Optimalsteuerungsprobleme. Daher sind f¨urdie L¨osungsolcher Probleme neue geometrische Tools und Algorithmen n¨otig. In dieser Arbeit werden Optimierungsprobleme auf Mannigfaltigkeiten und die Konstruktion von Algorithmen f¨urihre numerische L¨osungbehandelt. In einer abstrakten Formulierung soll eine reelle Funktion auf einer Mannigfaltigkeit minimiert werden, mit der Nebenbedingung -

[Brognoli, 1785, 85]2 1. Introduction “Shortly after I arrived in Milan I had the pleasure of meeting Signora Countess Donna Maria Agnesi who was well versed in the Latin and Greek languages, and even Hebrew, as well as other more familiar tongues; moreover, she was well educated in the most important Metaphysics, the Physics of the day and Geometry, and she knew enough of Mechanics for the purposes of Physics; she had a little knowledge of Cartesian algebra, but all self-acquired as there was no one here who could enlighten her. Therefore she asked me to assist her in that study, to which I agreed, and in a short time she had, with extraordinary strength and depth of talent, wonderfully mastered Cartesian algebra and the two infinitesimal Calculi,3 to which she added the application of these to the most lofty physical matters. I assure you that I have always been and still am amazed by seeing such talent and such depth of knowledge in a woman as would be remarkable in a man, and in particular by seeing this accompanied by quite remarkable Christian virtue.”4 On 9 June 1745, Ramiro Rampinelli (1697-1759) thus presented to his main scientific interlocutor of the time, Giordano Riccati (1709-1790), the talents of his Milanese pupil 1 Financial support of MIUR, PRIN 2009 “Mathematical Schools and National Identity in Modern and Contemporary Italy”, unit of Torino. -

This article discusses the work of Antonella Cupillari, Franco Minonzio, and Massimo Mazzotti in relation to earlier studies of Agnesi and reflects on the current state of this subject in light of the author’s own research on Agnesi. Ó 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Riassunto La recente pubblicazione di tre libri dedicati a Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-99) è un’occasione per riflettere su come abbiamo compreso e frainteso l’eredità nella storia della matematica di un’autrice di un importante testo in volgare, le Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventù italiana (Milano, 1748), e una fra le donne della sua gener- azione più conosciute per aver coltivato la filosofia naturale e la matematica. Questo articolo discute i lavori di Antonella Cupillari, Franco Minonzio, e Massimo Mazzotti in relazione a studi precedenti, e riflette sullo stato corrente degli studi su questo argomento alla luce della ricerca sull’Agnesi che l’autrice stessa sta conducendo. -

ASME International APPLIED MECHANICS DIVISION Report of the Chair SUMMER NEWS 2005
ASME International APPLIED MECHANICS DIVISION www.asme.org/divisions/amd Report of the Chair SUMMER NEWS 2005 KENNETH M. LIECHTI, EDITOR Upcoming Events Awards & Medals News from the Technical Committees 2004-2005 Roster Mary Boyce It has been my honor and pleasure to serve on the Executive Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division for the past five years. Membership on this committee brings with it much work and great satisfaction. My last year as Chair has been particularly gratifying. The work comes through maintaining and strengthening the Applied Mechanics Division efforts within ASME – our strong participation at the IMECE Meetings, our Summer Meetings, our Journal of Applied Mechanics, our Technical Committees, our Award Committees, our representation and voice within ASME, and our finances. If I had known of all of the work involved when Alan Needleman invited me to succeed him on the committee, I may not have agreed so readily! However, the experience has been very rewarding and has provided me the opportunity to meet and work very closely with a very talented and dedicated group of individuals on the EC over the past five years -- Tom Hughes, Dusan Krajcinovic, Stelios Kyriakides, Pol Spanos, Wing Liu, Tom Farris, K. RaviChandar, and Dan Inman. You would be heartened to know the seriousness and sense of purpose each has brought to the AMD and their true love of mechanics. I am certain that our newest member, my replacement Zhigang Suo, will bring his own zeal to this committee and will continue to strengthen the central role of AMD within ASME and the broader Applied Mechanics community. -
Newton's Generalized Form of Second Law Gives F
IOSR Journal Of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 13, Issue 2 Ser. I (Mar. – Apr. 2021), PP 61-138 www.Iosrjournals.Org Newton’s generalized form of second law gives F =ma Ajay Sharma Fundamental Physics Society. His Mercy Enclave, Post Box 107 GPO Shimla 171001 HP India Abstract Isaac Newton never wrote equation F =ma, it was clearly derived by Euler in 1775 ( E479 http://eulerarchive.maa.org/ ). Also, Newton ignored acceleration throughout his scientific career. It must be noted that acceleration was explained, defined and demonstrated by Galileo in 1638 (four years before birth of Newton) in his book Dialogue Concerning Two New Sciences at pages 133-134 and 146. Galileo defined uniform velocity in the same book at page 128 and applied it in Law of Inertia at page 195 in section The Motion of projectile. Descartes in book Principles of Philosophy (1644) and Huygens in his book Horologium (1673) used uniform velocity in defining their laws. Huygens also applied gravity in 1673 i.e. 13 years before Newton. Newton also defined first law of motion in the Principia (1686,1713,1726) in terms of unform velocity. Galileo, Descartes and Huygens did not use acceleration at all, as uniform velocity is used in law of inertia. Likewise, Newton ignored acceleration completely, even it was present in literature during his lifetime. So, it is distant point that Newton gave F=ma. The geometrical methods were the earliest method to interpret scientific phenomena. Now there are three main points for understanding of second law. Firstly, genuine equation based on second 2 2 law of motion F =kdV (it is obtained like F =Gm1m2/r or F m1m2, F 1/r or F dV) . -

Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics
Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics Continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are foundational theories of many fields of science and engineering. This book presents a fresh perspective on these important subjects, exploring their fundamentals and connecting them with micro- and nanoscopic theories. Providing clear, in-depth coverage, the book gives a self-contained treatment of topics di- rectly related to nonlinear materials modeling with an emphasis on the thermo-mechanical behavior of solid-state systems. It starts with vectors and tensors, finite deformation kine- matics, the fundamental balance and conservation laws, and classical thermodynamics. It then discusses the principles of constitutive theory and examples of constitutive models, presents a foundational treatment of energy principles and stability theory, and concludes with example closed-form solutions and the essentials of finite elements. Together with its companion book, Modeling Materials (Cambridge University Press, 2011), this work presents the fundamentals of multiscale materials modeling for graduate students and researchers in physics, materials science, chemistry, and engineering. A solutions manual is available at www.cambridge.org/9781107008267, along with a link to the authors’ website which provides a variety of supplementary material for both this book and Modeling Materials. Ellad B. Tadmor is Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, University of Minnesota. His research focuses on multiscale method development and the microscopic foundations of continuum mechanics. Ronald E. Miller is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Carleton University. He has worked in the area of multiscale materials modeling for over 15 years. Ryan S. Elliott is Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, University of Minnesota. An expert in stability of continuum and atomistic systems, he has received many awards for his work.
