This book provides a detailed history of the United States
National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
(USNC/TAM) of the US National Academies, the relationship between
the USNC/TAM and IUTAM, and a review of the many mechanicians who
developed the field over time. It emphasizes the birth and growth
of USNC/TAM, the birth and growth of the larger International
Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM), and explores
the work of mechanics from Aristotle to the present. Written by
the former Secretary of USNC/TAM, Dr. Carl T. Herakovich of the
University of Virginia, the book profiles luminaries of mechanics
including Galileo, Newton, Bernoulli, Euler, Cauchy, Prandtl,
Einstein, von Kármán, Timoshenko, and in so doing provides
insight into centuries of scientific and technologic advance.
