Stuart S. Antman

Stuart S. Antman is a Research Professor at the Institute for Physical Science & Technology, with a joint appointment in the Department of Mathematics. His work focuses on Continuum Physics and Nonlinear Analysis, addressing complex problems in solid mechanics involving nonlinearly elastic, viscoelastic, and magnetoelastic materials.

• Current research explores instabilities, shocks, and control problems in smart materials.
• Emphasis on geometrically exact theories and fluid-solid interactions.

Publications span nonlinear elasticity, viscoelastic shells, pendulum dynamics, and fluid-structure coupling. Notable works include Nonlinear Problems of Elasticity (2005) and studies on radial motions in viscoelastic bodies (2017).
