Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

The author has studied the strength of materials and theory of elasticity from 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 that he used both spring and dashpot models to simulate the behaviors of human bone, muscle, and tendon to investigate the human-weapon interactions. Later on, he went to MIT to pursue his Ph.D. study under Professor Norman Jones who taught him the theory of plasticity and dynamic plastic behaviors of various structural elements. Furthermore, he took some graduate courses at MIT in the field of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
