French physicist; Coulomb delivered fundamental contributions to mechanics and strength of materials
Coulomb is considered the founder of the science of structural engineering. He realized that friction is both a law of nature, as well as a technical characteristic of structures and machines. With its engineering-based approach, the absorption characteristics found empirically in his models and the additional analytical solution methods by experimental studies he created the technology to make scientific equivalent of "smooth" mechanics of Lagrange. Coulomb set a higher mathematics for solving practical problems of mechanics, freed by this focus on practical issues but at the same time of their rigid subordination to math and science. His mechanical knowledge had strong effect on Navier and Poncelet. Coulomb also succeeded in discovering basic laws of electricity and magnetism.
