from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahmed Cemal Eringen (born February 15, 1921 in Kayseri , Turkey , † December 7, 2009 ) was a Turkish -American engineering scientist. He was a professor at Princeton University .

Eringen studied at the Technical University of Istanbul with a diploma in 1943 and then worked for the Turkish Aircraft Co. until 1944. In 1944/45 he was a trainee at the Glenn L. Martin Company and from 1945 was group leader at the Turkish Air League Company . He continued his studies at the Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn , where he received his doctorate in applied mechanics in 1948. In 1948 he became an Assistant Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology , 1953 Associate Professor and 1955 Professor at Purdue University . From 1966 he was professor of aerospace engineering and mechanics at Princeton University and from 1974 he was professor of continuum physics, civil engineering and numerical and applied mathematics there. In 1991 he retired.

He dealt with continuum mechanics, electrodynamics of continua and material theories.

In 1981 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow (D. Sc.). In 1973 he received the Distinguished Service Award and in 1976 the AC Eringen Medal of the Society of Engineering Science , which he was president from 1963 to 1973.

Eringen had been married since 1949 and has four children.
