Friedrich Tölke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Tölke (born May 7, 1901 in Hanover ; † July 21, 1992 in Trogir , Dalmatia ) was a German civil engineer, mathematician and mechanical engineer.

Life

Tölke received his doctorate in 1926 at the TU Hannover with the static treatment of the flat cyclic ring on many supports and in 1931 he completed his habilitation at the TH Karlsruhe with the influence of the flow through concrete walls on the stability . From 1933 to 1937 he was Professor of Technical Mechanics in Karlsruhe (as successor to Max Tolle ) and from 1937 to 1945 Professor of Mechanics at the TU Berlin . His predecessors there were Fritz Kötter and Hans Reissner (until 1934) and his successor from 1948 Istvan Szabo . From 1952 to 1969 he headed the Institute for Building Research and Material Testing of the Building Industry (from 1952 Official Research and Material Testing Institute for Building Industry (FMPA), from 1953 with the nickname Otto Graf Institute ) of the University of Stuttgart. At the same time he was professor of soil mechanics and hydropower plants there.

In addition to books on statics and dams, he also published function tables.
