TitleWard, Ian Macmillan: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1977
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationPhysicist. Distinguished for his comprehensive investigations of properties of solid polymets and their relation to structure. The main thread through his work has been the elucidation of mechanical behaviour in highly anisotrophic systems. He established the comprehensive methodology for characterising such systems, involving a wide range of mechanical, spectroscopic and other structure techniques. Through these he established correlations between properties and structure which have greatly contributed to the understanding of the behaviour of these systems and to the achievement of desired properties by planned orientation procedures. In the latter respect his work has led to the attainment of ultraoriented fibrous material of greatly enhanced stiffness and strength. Professor Ward also made salient contributions to viscoelastic relaxations, non-linear viscoelasticity, yield behaviour and to the study of molecular conformations by spectroscopic methods.
