Jesse Lowen Shearer (1921—1992)[1] was an American professor,[1] engineer and pioneer in the field of hydraulics.

Shearer obtained his Sc.D. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and as a member of their faculty for mechanical engineering he worked at Dynamic Analysis & Control Laboratory from 1950 to 1963.[1] After then he became professor of the faculty of mechanical engineering at Pennsylvania State University until his retirement 1985.[1] He was also a member of the Dynamic Systems and Control Division of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).[1]

Awards and honors

1965 he received the Donald P. Eckman Award of the Instrument Society of America,[1][2] 1966 he got the Charles Russ Richards Memorial Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers[1][3] and finally 1983 the Rufus Oldenburger Medal of ASME.[1][4]

Selected publications

Shearer wrote many books, papers, and articles on hydraulics and system dynamics such as:

  • Introduction to System Dynamics (1967) - wrote with Arthur T. Murphy and Herbert H. Richardson
  • Dynamic Modeling and Control of Engineering Systems (2007)[5] - wrote with Bohdan T. Kulakowski and John F. Gardner
