Daniel Charles Drucker(June 3, 1918 – September 1, 2001) was Americancivilandmechanical engineerand academic, who served as president of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (nowSociety for Experimental Mechanics) in 1960–1961,[1]as president of theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineersin the year 1973–74, and as president of the American Academy of Mechanics in 1981–82.[2]
Drucker was known as an authority on the theory ofplasticityin the field ofapplied mechanics.His key contributions to the field of plasticity include the concept of material stability described by theDrucker stability postulatesand theDrucker–Prager yield criterion.
Biography[edit]
Youth and education[edit]
Drucker was born inNew York City.His father Moses Abraham Drucker was a civil engineer, and Drucker wanted to follow in his footsteps.[3]
Drucker studied at theColumbia University,where he obtained his BSc incivil engineeringin 1938. Next, in 1940 he obtained his PhD in mechanical engineering underRaymond D. Mindlin.[3]
Career, honours and awards[edit]
Drucker taught atBrown Universityfrom 1946 until 1968 when he joined theUniversity of Illinoisas Dean of Engineering.[4]In 1984 he left Illinois to become a graduate research professor at theUniversity of Floridauntil his retirement in 1994.
He received theMurrayLecture and Award in 1967,[5]title the seventh Honorary Member in 1969,[6]FrochtAward in 1971[7]and title ofFellow[8]from the Society for Strain Analysis (SESA), now known as theSociety for ExperimentalMechanics (SEM). In 1988, Drucker was awarded theNational Medal of Science.[9]He was a member of theNational Academy of Engineering[10]and of theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences.TheDrucker Medalis named in his honor.[11]He was also awarded theTimoshenko Medalin 1983.
Daniel C. Drucker Medal[edit]
The Daniel C. Drucker Medal, awarded by theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers,was named in his honor in 1998.[12]Drucker was the first recipient of this annual award.
