Gérard Maugin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gérard A. Maugin (born December 2, 1944 in Angers , † September 22, 2016 in Villejuif ) was a French engineer.

Maugin earned his engineering degree as a mechanical engineer at the École nationale supérieure d'arts et métiers (ENSAM) in 1966 and as an aircraft engineer at the Sup Aéro in Paris in 1968 . From 1966 he worked on ballistic missiles for the French Ministry of Defense. In 1968 he received his (DEA) diploma in hydrodynamics in Paris. In 1969 he received his master's degree from Princeton University , where he received his doctorate in 1971 (Ph.D.). There he was an International NASA Fellow from 1968 to 1970. 1971/72 he was an officer in the French Air Force (then in reserve). In 1975 he received his doctorate in mathematics (Doctorat d´Etat) at the University of Paris VI (Pierre et Marie Curie), where he also taught and since 1985 has headed the research team on continuum mechanics at the Laboratory for Theoretical Mechanics. After it was renamed Laboratoire de Modelisation en Mecanique (LMM), he headed it from 1998. From 1979 he was research director of the CNRS .

Among other things, he was visiting professor and visiting scholar in Princeton, Belgrade, Warsaw, Istanbul, at the Royal Technical University of Stockholm, at the Technical University of Berlin, Rome, Tel Aviv, Lomonossow University, Kyoto, Darmstadt and Berkeley.

He dealt with continuum mechanics, including relativistic continuum mechanics, micromagnetism, electrodynamics of the continua, thermomechanics, surface waves and nonlinear waves in continua, lattice dynamics, material equations and biomechanical applications (tissue growth). In 2013 and 2014 he published a two-volume work on the history of continuum mechanics, which is "a standard work on the historiography of mechanics".

In 2001 he received the Max Planck Research Award , was a 1991/92 Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and in 2001 received an honorary doctorate from the TU Darmstadt . In 1982 he received the Mechanics Prize of the French Academy of Sciences and in 1977 the CNRS Medal for Physics and Engineering.

He was a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1994) and the Estonian Academy of Sciences and was an honorary professor at Lomonosov University . In 2003 he received the AC Eringen Medal .
