Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

The author has studied strength of materials and theory of elasticity through his undergraduate courses at the University of Iowa. He also conducted research work to earn a master’s degree in Biomechanics under Professor James Andrews. He remembers using the spring and dashpot models to simulate the behaviors of human joints, bones, muscles, and tendons to investigate the human-weapon interactions. Later, he went to MIT to pursue his PhD study under Professor Norman Jones, who taught him theory of plasticity and dynamic plastic behaviors of structure elements, and took additional graduate courses in the field of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
