This Festschrift marks the retirement of Professor Chris Calladine,
FRS after 42 years on the teaching staff of the Department of
Engineering, University of Cambridge. It contains a series of
papers contributed by his former students, colleagues, and friends.
Chris Calladine's research has ranged very widely across the field
of struc tural mechanics, with a particular focus on the plastic
deformation of solids and structures, and the behaviour of
thin-shell structures. His insightful books on Engineering
Plasticity and Theory of Shell Structures have been appreciated by
many generations of students at Cambridge and elsewhere. His
scientific contri bution outside engineering, in molecular
structures, is at least as significant, and he is unique among
engineers in having co-authored a book on DNA. Also, he has been
keenly interested in the research of many students and colleagues,
and on many occasions his quick grasp and physical insight have
helped a student, and sometimes a colleague, find the nub of the
problem without unnecessary effort. Many of the papers contained in
this volume gratefully acknowledge this generous contribution. We
thank Professor G. M. l. Gladwell for reading through all of the
contri butions, Mrs R. Baxter and Mrs o. Constantinides for help in
preparing this volume, Godfrey Argent Studio for permission to
reproduce Calladine's por trait for the Royal Society, and Dr A.
Schouwenburg -from Kluwer- for his assistance. Horace R. Drew
