Why Is George G. Adams Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, George G. Adams is an American mechanical engineer specializing in tribology, contact mechanics, dynamics, and microelectromechanical systems . He is a distinguished professor in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering department at Northeastern University, Boston. Together with João Arménio Correia Martins, he discovered the frictional dynamic instabilities or Adams-Martins instabilities. Adams has published more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals, presenting new mathematical solutions of fundamental problems of mechanics, such as the dynamics of elastic structures subjected to moving loads, the contact of elastic plates with account to the adhesion force, as well as his studies of adhesion in MEMS microswitches and of contact mechanics. He has had many government and industry contracts and research grants.
