The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The first five essays by B.D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will find personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37 research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy. These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern continuum mechanics succinctly as “conceptual analysis, analysis not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning: logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.” It is in celebra- tion of this spirit and this essence that these research papers are dedicated to the memory of their bearer, driving force, and main promoter for half a century. Most of these papers were presented at the Symposium on Recent Advances and New Directions in Mechanics, Continuum Thermodynamics, and Kinetic Theory – In Memory of Clifford A. Truesdell III, held in Blacksburg, Virginia, in June 2002; parts of two papers were delivered at the meeting Remembering Clifford Truesdell, held in Turin in November 2002; and the rest was written especially for the present collection. The portrait, a photo of which serves as the frontispiece of this collection, adorns the Clifford A. Truesdell III Room of History of Science in the library of the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy), which was inaugurated in October 2003 and permanently houses Clifford Truesdell’s previously private collection of books, papers, and correspondence.

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.

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.

[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.

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.
