Department of Mechanical Engineering
Clemson University
Biography:
Sherrill Biggers joined the Department in 1989 after 11 years with Lockheed-Martin where he was manager of NASA composite programs in Burbank. Prior to that, he was on the faculty at the University of Kentucky for 8 years. He has received teaching awards at both universities. He is a member of ASEE, an Associate Fellow of AIAA, and a Fellow of ASME. He is a registered Professional Engineer.
Education:
PhD, Duke University, 1971
MS, Duke University, 1970
BS, North Carolina State University, 1966
Research Interests:
Computational solid mechanics, instructional methods in mechanics, progressive failure and nonlinear response of composite structures, wheel-soil interaction, and optimum design.
