Thomas R. Kane (born March 23, 1924) is a professor emeritus of applied mechanics at Stanford University.[1] In the 1960s, Kane devised a method for formulating equations of motion for complex mechanical systems that requires less labor and leads to simpler equations than the classical approaches, while avoiding the vagueness of virtual quantities. The method is based on the use of partial angular velocities and partial velocities.[2]
Biography
Professor Thomas R. Kane was born in Austria in 1924 and emigrated to the United States in 1938. His father was a piano tuner in New York City. His mother's correspondence with a family friend in France and serendipity connected the Kane (Canitz) family to Dorothy Canfield Fisher a renowned author and director at the Quaker Oakwood school in Poughkeepsie (upstate New York). He is grateful to Dorothy Fisher for his opportunity to leave the ghetto, board at Oakwood school, receive a first-class education, and work summers doing language translation (Dr. Kane speaks German, English, Russian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). He attended Guilford college in NC for one year before joining the war effort.
A small part-time custodial job in photography was reason-enough for him to be assigned from 1943-45 as a combat photographer in the South Pacific during World War II. He maybe the only person who witnessed both the start and end of World War II, seeing both Hitler's march into Austria as well as photographing the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri in 1945.
After the war, he attended Columbia University from 1946-1953 and earned four degrees: B.S. in Mathematics, B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering, and Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics. After graduating, he spent 45 years teaching Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University and gave lectures, seminars, and conferences in several languages around the world.
Dr. Kane has published 10 textbooks and 172 technical papers and is the preeminent expert and author of modern dynamics theory (known as "Kane Dynamics").
In 1988, Dr. Kane joined Online Dynamics and was instrumental in the symbolic manipulator Autolev, providing technical leadership and vast amounts of documentation. In 1994, he became Professor Emeritus of Mechanics and Computation at Stanford University and founded Kane, Dynamics, Inc. a consulting company that, with Dr. Ken Chung, developed Animake, an animation program for Autolev and MotionGenesis.
Dr. Kane joined Motion Genesis as a Senior Consultant in 2010 to bring symbolic manipulation to engineers and the engineering classroom. Motion Genesis specializes in providing motion expertise to the bio-mechanical, legal, and defense industries.[3]
