Joseph Palmer Frizell (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Joseph Frizell (13 March 1832 – 4 May 1910) was an American engineer. He is notable for having independently derived the fundamental equations to describe the velocity of a shock wave (Water hammer equations) in 1898, and for his book Water-Power published in 1901. Water-power was the first practical book on hydraulics in the USA. This was a major milestone in propagation of engineering knowledge in USA, as Schutze wrote ″As an hydraulic engineer, Frizell was prominent, and his book, Waterpower, filled a definitive need in the technology of that day.″ Nevertheless, Frizell's description of the Water hammer was criticized by American contemporaries and his contribution to the field is under-recognised.

(en) Joseph Palmer Frizell (1832-1910) est un hydraulicien autodidacte américain, connu pour avoir, en 1898, indépendamment dérivé les équations fondamentales afin de décrire la vitesse d'une onde de choc (équations du coup de bélier), ainsi que pour son livre Water-Power publié en 1901 et qui a été alors le premier ouvrage pratique traitant de l'hydraulique aux États-Unis. Ce livre a été un jalon remarquable dans la maîtrise des connaissances hydrauliques, comme Schutze le résume : « En tant qu'ingénieur hydraulicien, Frizell était une éminence, et son livre, Water-Power, comblait un besoin indiscutable dans la technologie de cette époque. » (fr)
