Václav Dašek
Václav Dašek (born February 18, 1887 in Slavětín nad Metují , Neustadt an der Mettau district , Eastern Bohemia ; † August 12, 1970 in Prague ) was a Czech civil engineer and engineering scientist.
Dašek studied civil engineering from 1905 to 1910 at the TH Prague, where he also received his doctorate (dissertation: New method for the calculation of statically indeterminate structures ). He then worked for construction companies in Bohemia, Yugoslavia and Switzerland as well as the municipal bridge supervisor in Prague. From 1927 he was back at the TH Prague, where he completed his habilitation with the text Calculation of frame constructions with the help of tensors and deformation ellipses. With the application of the tensor calculus in structural engineering, he broke new ground and prepared the subsequent matrix formulation for structural analysis. In 1929 he became an assistant professor at the TH Prague and in 1934 he was given a full professorship.
Among other things, he dealt with sliding frames and bar grids.
Dašek was a member of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences .
