Deformation and Flow of Solids / Verformung und Fliessen des Festkörpers
Auf einer Sitzung des :Biiros der Internationalen Union fiir Theore tische und Angewandte Mechanik (IUTAM) in :Briissel am 21. Septem ber 1953 wurde beschlossen, ein Kolloquium iiber Festkorpermechanik (vorlaufiger Titel) fiir die letzte Septemberwoche 1955 zu pla.nen, und zwa.r in Madrid, entsprechend einer EinIadung, welche die Vertreter der zugehorigen spanischen Organisation Instituto Naciona.l de Tecnica Aeronautica "Esteban Terradas" (INTA), die Herren A. NUNEz und A. PEREZ-MARiN personIich iiberbrachten. Das vom :Biiro der IUTAM hierfiir eingesetzte Wissenschaftliche Komitee bestand aus R. GRAMMEL als Vorsitzendem und den Herren TH. VON K. ARMiN, M. Roy und G.I. TAYLOR, das spanische ...
Mathematicians under the Nazis
Contrary to popular belief--and despite the expulsion, emigration, or death of many German mathematicians--substantial mathematics was produced in Germany during 1933-1945. In this landmark social history of the mathematics community in Nazi Germany, Sanford Segal examines how the Nazi years affected the personal and academic lives of those German mathematicians who continued to work in Germany. The effects of the Nazi regime on the lives of mathematicians ranged from limitations on foreign contact to power struggles that rattled entire institutions, from changed work patterns to military draft, deportation, and death. Based on extensive archival research, Mathematicians under the Nazis show...
The Enigma of the Aerofoil
Why do aircraft fly? How do their wings support them? In the early years of aviation, there was an intense dispute between British and German experts over the question of why and how an aircraft wing provides lift. The British, under the leadership of the great Cambridge mathematical physicist Lord Rayleigh, produced highly elaborate investigations of the nature of discontinuous flow, while the Germans, following Ludwig Prandtl in Göttingen, relied on the tradition called “technical mechanics” to explain the flow of air around a wing. Much of the basis of modern aerodynamics emerged from this remarkable episode, yet it has never been subject to a detailed historical and sociological ana...
The Practical Einstein
Albert Einstein may be best known as the wire-haired whacky physicist who gave us the theory of relativity, but that’s just one facet of this genius’s contribution to human knowledge and modern science. As József Illy expertly shows in this book, Einstein had an eminently practical side as well. As a youth, Einstein was an inveterate tinkerer in the electrical supply factory his father and uncle owned and operated. His first paid job was as a patent examiner. Later in life, Einstein contributed to many inventions, including refrigerators, microphones, and instruments for aviation. In published papers, Einstein often provided ways to test his theories and fundamental problems of the scie...
