Vladimír Koloušek
Vladimír Koloušek (born March 16, 1909 in Brno , † September 21, 1976 in Prague ) was a Czech civil engineer.
Koloušek studied civil engineering at the Technical University in Prague from 1927 to 1934 . He then worked for the steelworks in Vitkovice and from 1937 for the Czechoslovak State Railways, for which he designed structures made of steel and reinforced concrete. Based on vibration problems in railway bridges and radio masts, he dealt with structural dynamics and was a pioneer in this. In 1941 he developed a dynamic displacement method that enabled the effective calculation of natural frequencies in the time before the advent of electronic computers. He also tabulated F-functions. In 1946 he received his doctorate at the Technical University of Prague (dissertation: static and dynamic solutions for guyed antenna masts ) and completed his habilitation a year later. From 1953 to 1962 he was a professor at the Railway Academy in Prague (only interrupted by a professorship in 1954 at the Transport Academy in Žilina ). 1963 to 1976 he was a professor at the TH Prague.
He was a corresponding member of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences .
