Abstract

This chapter mostly concerns European countries that do not receive a separate focus in specific chapters. In spite of the tentative construction of a united Europe, the offered presentation still reflects the print left by History in the Nineteenth century and various zones of influence. Thus apart from the originality of Switzerland, the following large regions are identified: the Benelux with a prevailing role played by the Netherlands, Scandinavia considered as a historical and cultural linguistic region with special strength in Sweden and Denmark, the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and southern European countries. A case at point is that of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire because this well-organized political structure - doomed to disappear with the two world conflicts - succeeded in building a network of efficient polytechnic schools in its various “provinces”. Strong individual personalities could emerge including in former Yugoslavia and Romania. The geometrical theory of dislocations in Serbia and a specific strength in applied mathematics in Romania are witness of this trend. Italy, adorned by a long section, continues to demonstrate its traditional strength in civil engineering and the allied mathematical analysis. India and China receive but a cursory treatment, while immense expectations are to materialize soon. In Japan, two original characters are singled out, K. Kondo and T. Tokuoka. With time, most countries perused have fit in an international view of continuum mechanics that shares similar subjects of interests (e.g. complex mechanical behaviour, plasticity, numerics, thermomechanics, and coupled fields).
