Executive summary: Drucker's stability postulate Military service: US Army Air Corps (WWII) Daniel C. Drucker studied and engineering science and structural engineering, particularly plasticity, limit analysis, geo-mechanics, and three-dimensional photoelasticity. His stability postulate is recognized as an essential concept of material stability, bringing a unified approach to determining stress-strain relations for plastic behavior of metals. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers presents an annual medal named for Drucker, honoring contributions to applied mechanics and mechanical engineering.
