The quest for truth, particularly in mechanics
Original language description
The author ponders about things that necessarily come into engineering mind when the results obtained by theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches in solid continuum mechanics are correlated and compared with a pious wish to ascertain which of them are truer? or closer to 'reality'. This invokes many questions. How ancient and contemporary philosophers viewed the truth? How is truth related to consistency and validity of theoretical, numerical and experimental models we are inventing and employing? What is the role of threshold in physics, engineering, computation and in experiment? What is the role of singularity in mathematics, physics and in engineering? It should be stressed out that the role of doubts in our understanding the World playsa significantly positive role.
