Description
Summary:I am happy to take part in WCCM V because this meeting is making it possible for me to meet again with a number of my European structural engineering friends with whom I have been associated for more than 40 years. During my teaching career at Berkeley, which extended from 1949 to 1987, I observed the development and growth of the field of computational mechanics from the earliest days when the name 'Computational Mechanics' did not yet exist, to the present when the scope of the field is almost unlimited.
