Duhamel attended the Polytechnic School in Paris, where he worked as a teacher from 1834. In 1851 he became professor of mathematics at the University of Paris .
Duhamel discovered that you could combine a pencil with a tuning fork in such a way that it reproduced the vibrations of the tuning fork as a wavy line. He did some preliminary work in the field of sound recording .
Duhamel did research in the field of partial differential equations . The Duhamel principle goes back to him. In particular, he published works on thermodynamics and analytical mechanics .
On December 28, 1840, he was accepted into the Académie des Sciences in Paris. Since 1847 he was a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and since 1859 of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg .
