Abstract

Professor John Edwin Field passed away on October 21st, 2020 at the age of 84. Professor Field was widely regarded as a leader in high-strain rate physics and explosives. During his career in the Physics and Chemistry of Solids (PCS) Group of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, John made major contributions into our understanding of friction and erosion, brittle fracture, explosives, impact and high strain-rate effects in solids, impact in liquids, and shock physics. The contributions made by the PCS group are recognized globally and the impact of John’s work is a lasting addition to our knowledge of the dynamic effects in materials. John graduated 84 Ph.D. students and collaborated broadly in the field. Many who knew him attribute their success to the excellent grounding in research and teaching they received from John Field.

Acknowledgements

The authors would like to thank Jennifer Jordan and the Journal of Dynamic Behavior of Materials for the opportunity to share our memories of our colleague, mentor and friend John E. Field. Neil K. Bourne, Eric N. Brown, Peter Dickson and Philip J. Rae lead this tribute by inviting a wide selection of John Field’s former students and visitors. Not all were able to contribute, but we hope that this represents a collation that reflects all that are listed as authors. We have tried our best but of course accept any mistakes or omissions that will inevitably occur. Some of the text in the biography was contributed by Ineke Field, Peter Grubb, Victor Shim, Mikael Sjödahl. Neil K. Bourne thanks the large of number of colleagues and friends contacted to contribute to this tribute who were so generous with their contributions. Particular thanks go to Ian Hutchings who contacted many of the early students, Stephen Walley who coordinated the biographical and reference library and John Dear who assembled reminiscences from Luleå.
