Listed in this post are the speeches given upon receiving the Timoshenko Medal. Every November, at the Annual Applied Mechanics Dinner, the medalist of the year delivers a speech. Taken together, these speeches provide a long perspective of our field, as well as capsules of the lives of extraordinary individuals.
iMechanica is attempting to post the speeches of all medalists. If you have the text of a speech that is missing from the list, please send an email to Zhigang Suo (suo@seas.harvard.edu).

Thanks again...

Re: is it possible to upload the audio files also?
Dear Jayadeep,
Technically, audios or even videos of Timoshenko Lectures can be provided in iMechanica, if these files are available. This can be done using web services such as YouTube or SlideShare, as alluded in an earlier comment. I'm not sure if any of previous Timoshenko Lectures has been videotaped. If not, maybe it will be a good idea to start from this year.

Roshko
I really enjoyed reading the speech of Anatol Roshko, he seemed to be very progressive scientist as for his time. Currently I am writing my essays for university degree and I am considering using some of his quotes which fill fit my topic perfectly.
John W. Hutchinson
I enjoyed the speech of John W. Hutchinson the most, he seems to be the best scientist. All this Informations helped me alot by some researches for browsergames and rauchen aufhören. So i hope you keep sharing all this great stuff with us, its a pleasure to read on this site. Let's Play

Rest in Peace
There were really nice speeches in the past. I think with the Internet and all this stuff, we lost our abilities. I hope some new guy will be awesome, like these legends listed. Thanks. Handy orten
