Michael A. Sutton
Michael A. Sutton is an American Engineering professor. He is Carolina Distinguished Professor and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina-Columbia. He served as Chairperson of Mechanical Engineering and Chair of the University Tenure and Promotion Committee. In 1998, Dr. Sutton co-founded Correlated Solutions, Inc. in Columbia, SC, and he still serves as its CSO. Research Sutton is the author of more than 230 journal articles. He is most known for his contributions to the invention, development and validation of the non-contacting, image-based deformation measurement methods known as digital image correlation methods, or DIC. Career In the early 1980s, Sutton and his co-workers invented the first DIC method, known as two-dimensional DIC or 2D-DIC. This method is applicable for surface measurements on planar specimens undergoing nominally in-plane deformation. While working with NASA researchers as part of the US Aging ...

Miklós Hetényi
Miklós Imre Hetényi (5 November 1906 – 31 October 1984) was a Hungarian-American engineer. He was a professor at Stanford University and held numerous service roles in the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (SESA) (now Society for Experimental Mechanics) including as the second President of the society from 1944 to 1945. His parents were Géza Hetényi and Etelka Jakab (1864–1956). He died at his desk at home on the Stanford campus while working on a structural mechanics book. Education Hetényi obtained a degree in civil engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 1931. He pursued graduate work with Harold M. Westerguard at the University of Illinois from 1934 to 1935, and obtained a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan in 1936, supervised by Stephen Timoshenko. It is said he was one of Timoshenko's favorite students and that he worked closely with Ray Mindlin and Dan Drucker on experimental work. Rese ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar yea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Timoshenko Medal
The Timoshenko Medal is an award given annually by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to an individual "in recognition of distinguished contributions to the field of applied mechanics." The Timoshenko Medal, widely regarded as the highest international award in the field of applied mechanics, was established in 1957 in honor of Stephen Timoshenko, world-renowned authority in the field. The Medal "commemorates his contributions as author and teacher." The actual award is a bronze medal and honorarium. The first award was given in 1957 to Stephen Prokofyevich Timoshenko. Nomination procedure The Timoshenko Medal Committee consists of the five recent Timoshenko Medalists, the five members of the executive committee of the ASME International Applied Mechanics Division (AMD), and the five recent past chairs of the AMD. See the list of currenmembers of the Committee Upon receiving recommendations from the international community of applied mechanics, the Committee n ...

National Academy Of Engineering
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is an American nonprofit, non-governmental organization. The National Academy of Engineering is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, along with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Academy of Medicine, and the National Research Council (now the program units of NASEM). The NAE operates engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. New members are annually elected by current members, based on their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
