O autorze

J. N. Reddy, the O'Donnell Foundation Chair IV Professor in J. MikeWalker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, is a highly-cited researcher, author of 24 textbooks and over 750 journal papers, and a leader in the applied mechanics field for more nearly 50 years. He is known worldwide for his significant contributions to the field of applied mechanics through the authorship of widely used textbooks on mechanics of materials, continuum mechanics, linear and nonlinear finite element analyses, energy principles and variational methods, and composite materials and structures. His pioneering works on the development of shear deformation theories of beams, plates, and shells (that bear his name in the literature as the Reddy third-order plate theory and the Reddy layerwise theory), nonlocal and non-classical continuum mechanics have had a major impact, and have led to new research developments and applications.
