Professor Jean Salen\u00e7on is Honorary Professor at the \u00c9cole polytechnique and the \u00c9cole nationale des ponts et chauss\u00e9es (France). He is presently Senior Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study, City University, Hong Kong.
He was the President of the French Academy of Sciences during the years 2009 & 2010 and presided over the Institut de France in 2009. He is also a Member (Emeritus) of the French Academy of Technologies, a foreign Member of the Istituto Lombardo (Milan) and of the Academia das Ci\u00eancias de Lisboa (Portugal), an honorary Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and a Corresponding Member of the Acad\u00e9mie des sciences et lettres de Montpellier (France).
his research activities are mainly concerned with Continuum Mechanics and were essentially developed in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory (\u00c9cole polytechnique, Palaiseau, France) with, as an essential characteristic, the transfer of basic concepts and results in Continuum mechanics to practical applications in civil and mechanical engineering. Among his major contributions, one may mention the elaboration of a Theory of Yield Design based upon the only concept of yield strength of the constituent materials and simple mathematical results of convex analysis, as a convenient general framework for all types of stability analyses: slopes and dams, anisotropic and reinforced soils, yield design of plates and slabs, probabilistic approach, homogenization, etc. Other aspects of the research activities of Jean Salen\u00e7on include Viscoelasticity, Elastoplasticity and Elasticity.
Professor Jean Salen\u00e7on has been a member of various scientific councils and administrative boards of public or private entities. He is the author of about 240 publications including 18 books and textbooks, many tutorial and practical multimedia software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
