Kozaburo Mise

Kozaburo Mise (born March 8, 1886 in Ohzu , Ehime Prefecture , † February 4, 1955 in Japan ) was a Japanese civil engineer.

Mise studied at Tokyo University from 1908 to 1911 and was then a lecturer at Kyushu University. From 1912 he continued his studies at the University of Illinois and was there from 1915 to 1918 Associate Professor. From 1923 to 1946 he was professor of bridge construction at Kyūshū University , which also awarded him an honorary doctorate. After 1946 he held an honorary professorship at his university.

Mise began to consistently develop a matrix formulation for structural engineering as early as the 1920s. The actual development of this formulation began only after his death (among others by John Argyris ) and led to the theory of finite elements .
