Heinz Neuber

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz August Paul Neuber (born November 22, 1906 in Stettin ; † November 18, 1989 in Bad Wörishofen ) was a German mechanical engineer specializing in technical mechanics .

Life

After graduating from high school, Heinz Neuber studied mechanical engineering at the technical universities in Berlin and Munich . As an assistant to Ludwig Föppl at the Technical University of Munich, he received his doctorate in 1932 with the work Contributions to the axially symmetrical state of stress . The habilitation followed in 1935. In the same year he and Ludwig Föppl published the book Strength Theory Using Stress Optics . His important work Notch Stress Theory - Basics for Precise Stress Calculation , which was reissued in an expanded version in 1958 , was published as early as 1937 . This work is one of the classic books on technical mechanics; In 2001 it appeared in its 4th edition. From 1936 he worked as a test leader in the aviation industry. In 1937 he became department head at the Aviation Research Institute in Braunschweig .

After the end of the Second World War he worked from 1945 to 1946 as a research assistant for the Royal Air Force in Braunschweig and read general mechanics as a private lecturer at the Technical University of Braunschweig . In October 1946 he was appointed full professor for technical mechanics and strength theory at the Technical University of Dresden , where he headed the institute for technical mechanics. In 1955 he followed a call to the TH Munich as the successor to Ludwig Föppl to the chair for technical mechanics. In Munich he was also head of the State Materials Testing Office for mechanical engineering.

In 1955 Neuber was elected a full member of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin . Since 1969 he was an external member of this academy and a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences .
