Warner Tjardus Koiter belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Warner Tjardus Koiter as Dutch mechanical engineer and Professor of Applied Mechanics (1914-1997).
Warner Tjardus Koiter was born at Amsterdam in 1914. His recorded nationality is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. He was educated at Delft University of Technology.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Warner Tjardus Koiter is described as engineer, university teacher and mechanical engineer.
His affiliations include Delft University of Technology.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His recorded fields of work are applied mechanics, theoretical mechanics and computational mechanics.
His work was formally recognised with the Timoshenko Medal, Honorary doctors of Ghent University and Koiter Medal.
That the work was done from the Kingdom of the Netherlands matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1997, at 83. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
