Dusan Krajcinovic: a Biographical Note
Guest Editorial Dusan Krajcinovic: A biographical note Professor dr Dusan Krajcinovic was born on March 28, 1935 in Zagreb, King- dom of Yugoslavia; he passed away on August 10, 2007 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Dusan Krajcinovic entered Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Bel- grade in 1953, and received his Bachelor degree in 1958. Later he attended a Master degree program in Structural Mechanics from 1964 to 1966, which he completed, with the averaged grade of 9.9 out of 10, as the ¯rst student in a highly competitive class. Afterwards, he moved with his family to USA following an invitation of Professor George Hermann; entered Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois; and earned his PhD in 1968. Professor Krajcinovic started his career of a professional civil engineer in 1959 as a member of technical sta® in Energoproject, Belgrade, Yugoslavia. He contributed to some major civil engineering projects such as Bajina Basta (a 92-m high segmented hollow concrete dam); Otovica (a 30-m high concrete arch dam); Buk Bijela (a preliminary analyses of the shape of a concrete arch dam); Glazanj (a 90-m high concrete arch dam); two railroad bridges in Ljubljana; road bridge over Sava river at Orasje (an 800-m long continuous i bridge with a main span of 135 m); Hotel-Apartment Tower in Belgrade (a 15- store high building). After earning his PhD in USA, he continued his career in Ingersoll Rand Research Inc., Princeton, New Jersey. From 1969 to 1973 he was at Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois in the Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Group. Although he left Argonne in 1973 to pursue academic career he remained a sta® member until 1979. -

Continuum Mechanics Through the Twentieth Century a Concise Historical Perspective Solid Mechanics and Its Applications
Solid Mechanics and Its Applications Series Editor: G.M.L. Gladwell Gérard A. Maugin Continuum Mechanics Through the Twentieth Century A Concise Historical Perspective Solid Mechanics and Its Applications Volume 196 Series Editor G. M. L. Gladwell Department of Civil Engineering University of Waterloo Waterloo, ON Canada For further volumes: http://www.springer.com/series/6557 Aims and Scope of the Series The fundamental questions arising in mechanics are: Why?, How?, and How much? The aim of this series is to provide lucid accounts written by authoritative researchers giving vision and insight in answering these questions on the subject of mechanics as it relates to solids. The scope of the series covers the entire spectrum of solid mechanics. Thus it includes the foundation of mechanics; variational formulations; computational mechanics; statics, kinematics and dynamics of rigid and elastic bodies: vibrations of solids and structures; dynamical systems and chaos; the theories of elasticity, plasticity and viscoelasticity; composite materials; rods, beams, shells and membranes; structural control and stability; soils, rocks and geomechanics; fracture; tribology; experimental mechanics; biomechanics and machine design. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are monographs defining the current state of the field; others are accessible to final year undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity. Gérard A.
