Biography
Zheng Zhemin, male, Han nationality is a native of Yin County, Zhejiang Province, and was born in Jinan City, Shangdong Province. He graduated from Qinghua University in 1947, and received his master's and doctorate from the California Institute of Science and Technology in 1949 and 1952 respectively.
Early in his career Zheng Zhemin engaged in research on elastic mechanics, water elastic mechanics, vibration, and seismological engineering mechanics. Since the 1960s, Zheng has also researched explosion processing, underground nuclear explosion, piercing shell, material dynamic mechanics property, underwater soft base explosion and treatment. He developed the theoretical research and testing of the dynamic mechanic properties of the explosion formation model law, formation mechanism, matrix strength and explosion load while at the same time solved the problems of formation parameter and technique. Zheng created the new direction of "Technique Mechanics" by combining mechanics and technique and made significant contributions in the theory and application of explosion mechanics.
Zheng is an academician of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Academy of Engineering.
