Robert Kenedi
Prof Robert Maximilian Kenedi FRSE (1921-1998) was a Hungarian-born engineer and bioengineer. Life He was born in Hungary on 19 March 1921. In 1938 he left Hungary to study in Britain, choosing the Royal Technical College in Glasgow where he studied civil engineering, receiving his degree (BSc) from Glasgow University in 1941. As a foreign national from an enemy country, the Second World War eventually impacted upon him. He was obliged to serve two years within the Auxiliary War Service. This was somewhat similar to being a prisoner of war but is likely to have involved unpaid farm labour, rather than internment. Following appeal he was released from these duties in 1943. He then returned to the Royal Technical College to lecture in Civil and Mechanical Engineering. During his first ten years he mainly worked on studies on the strength of materials and strain gauge technology, especially in thin-walled materials. During this period he developed a series of highly used Design C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
