This distinctive factor of ZAMP is released to honor Paul M. Naghdi for his contributions to mechanics over the past 40 years and extra. it truly is provided in party of his lengthy, efficient profession in continuum mechan ics; a profession which has been marked through a fondness for the intrinsic fantastic thing about the topic, an uncompromising adherence to educational criteria, and an untiring devotion to our career. initially, this factor used to be deliberate in get together of Naghdi's seventieth birthday, which happened on 29 March 1994. yet, because the papers have been being ready for the clicking, it turned obvious that the affliction from which Professor Naghdi have been soreness in the course of fresh months used to be tremendous severe. On 26 might 1994, a reception came about within the division of Mechanical Engineering at Berkeley, at which Naghdi bought The Berkeley quotation (which is given in lieu of an honorary measure) and the place he used to be additionally offered with the desk of Contents of the current assortment. Subse quently, he had the chance to learn the papers in manuscript shape. He used to be very touched that his colleagues had selected to honor him with their wonderful contributions. the information that he used to be held in such excessive esteem through his fellow scientists introduced a distinct excitement and comfort to him in his final weeks. On Saturday night, nine July 1994, Paul Naghdi succumbed to the lung melanoma which he had so courageously endured.

During this regular reference of the sector, theoretical and experimental ways to stream, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are thought of. diverse methods are mentioned and contrasted with one another. the 1st technique is predicated at the classical equations of movement and shipping, known as 'continuum models'.

Naghdi was a passionate, committed, and authoritative lecturer, and students quickly recognized that they were listening not just to another lecturer on mechanics but to one of the contemporary creators of the subject. Some students, upon attending one of Naghdi's courses for the first time found his no-nonsense attitude intimidating, but all Paul M. Naghdi (1924-1994) S31 serious students of mechanics quickly came to prize Naghdi's lectures and ultimately took all of his courses. This series of courses is a highly articulated and brilliantly designed curriculum in theoretical mechanics, and Naghdi's colleagues who are fortunate to inherit this intellectual legacy sincerely hope that the courses which he developed will continue to flourish and to incorporate emerging currents of thought in the years to come.
