Congratulations to Nemat-Nasser, RD. James, Tom Ting & others
For the young imechanicians,
these are huge names: in Harzing's publish or perish software (using Google Scholar); you find these data.
Nemat-Nasser h=37
RD James, h=27
TCT Ting, h= 23.
See details below, and have a look at the most highly cited maybe.
Regards, Mike
