What is Arthur Leissa—a biographical sketch about?
Arthur Leissa grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and went to Ohio State University, where he received BME and MS degrees in mechanical engineering in 1954. After spending 1 year at Sperry Gyroscope helping in the development of a radar system, he returned to Ohio State to pursue PhD study and research in engineering mechanics, receiving the degree in 1958. During this period, he also spent one summer in the advanced stress analysis group of Boeing Airplane Company. Staying at Ohio State as Assistant Professor (1958), he quickly became Associate Professor (1961) and full Professor (1964). At the age of 32, he was the youngest full Professor at Ohio State. His early research was primarily in elasticity, plates and shells, and in approximate methods for solving boundary value and eigenvalue problems. During this time, he also did extensive consulting (B700 h/year) for 6 years with North American Aviation, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. In 1965, a momentous change in his research career took place, for he began a 7 year effort to collect, digest and summarize the published literature of the world in plate and shell vibrations. This comprehensive work was sponsored by NASA, and resulted in two monogr
