Starting in 1996, a sequence of articles appeared in the Journal of
Nonlinear Science dedicated to the memory of one of its original
editors, Juan-Carlos Simo, Applied Me chanics, Stanford University.
Sadly, Juan-Carlos passed away at an early age in 1994. We lost a
brilliant colleague and a wonderful person. These articles are
collected in the present volume. Many of them are updated and
corrected especially for this occasion. These essays are in areas
of scientific interest of Juan-Carlos, including mechanics
(particles, rigid bodies, fluids, elasticity, plastic ity, etc.),
geometry, applied dynamics, and, of course, computation. His
interests were extremely broad-he did not see boundaries between
computation, mathematics, me chanics, and dynamics, and, in that
sense, he ideally reflected the spirit of the journal and many of
the most exciting areas of current scientific interest. Juan-Carlos
was one of those select and gifted people who could cross
interdisci plinary boundaries with extremely high quality and
productive interactions of lasting value. His contributions,
ranging from concrete engineering problems to fundamental
mathematical theorems in geometric mechanics, are remarkable. In
current conferences as well as in scientific books and articles,
and over a wide range of subjects, one frequently hears how his
ideas as well as specific results are often used and quoted-this is
one indication of just how profound and fundamental his work has
impacted the community.
