By Carl T. Herakovich
This publication offers an in depth historical past of the USA nationwide Committee on Theoretical and utilized Mechanics (USNC/TAM) of the U.S. nationwide Academies, the connection among the USNC/TAM and IUTAM, and a overview of the various mechanicians who built the sphere through the years. It emphasizes the delivery and development of USNC/TAM, the beginning and progress of the bigger foreign Union of Theoretical and utilized Mechanics (IUTAM), and explores the paintings of mechanics from Aristotle to the current. Written via the previous Secretary of USNC/TAM, Dr. Carl T. Herakovich of the college of Virginia, the booklet profiles luminaries of mechanics together with Galileo, Newton, Bernoulli, Euler, Cauchy, Prandtl, Einstein, von Kármán, Timoshenko, and in so doing presents perception into centuries of clinical and technologic advance.

Petersburg, Ehrenfest settled at Leiden, the Netherlands in 1912 where he stayed for the remainder of his career. He was a close friend of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein would stay at Ehrenfest’s home when he visited Leiden—as he often did. Ehrenfest had many students including Johannes Burgers. Unfortunately, depression overcame Ehrenfest in 1933 and he first shot his son who had Down syndrome and then shot himself. Theodore von Kármán Theodore von Kármán (Budapest, Hungary; Göttingen, Aachen, Caltech; 1881– 1963) was a Hungarian applied mathematician who worked in both fluid mechanics and solid mechanics.
Von Kármán). During the 1924 Delft Congress, it was decided that the organization of each subsequent congress was to be entrusted to a National Committee of scientists from the host country. There continued to be problems deciding on the location of future meetings because of strong nationalist feelings. However, over time, and with diplomacy, these feelings were assuaged. After 1924, and prior to the Second World War, International Congresses were held in Zurich, Switzerland (second, 1926), Stockholm, Sweden (third, 1930), Cambridge, UK (fourth, 1934), and Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (fifth, 1938).
The textbook on mathematics for engineers and physicists, written with his first wife Elizabeth (nee Stafford) (Sokolnikoff and Sokolnikoff 1941), was for many years the leading book in the field. Sokolnikoff also wrote texts on advanced calculus and tensor analysis. He served as editor of the Quarterly Journal of Applied Mechanics and the John Wiley Series in Applied Mathematics. , 1909–1981) was born on June 22, 1909 in the Yaroslavl region of Russia, roughly 170 miles north of Moscow and 500 miles south of St.
