Michael A. Sadowsky (1902 – December 31, 1967) was a researcher in solid mechanics, particularly the mathematical theory of elasticity and materials science. Born in the Russian Empire, he earned his doctorate in 1927 under the applied mathematician Georg Hamel at Technische Hochschule Berlin-Charlottenburg with a dissertation entitled Spatially periodic solutions in the theory of elasticity (in German).Schmiedeshoff FW (1968) In Memory of Dr Michael A Sadowsky, Journal of Composite Materials 2, 126. He made contributions in the use of potential functions in elasticity and force transfer mechanisms in composites. Many of his early papers were written in German.Hinz DF and Fried E (2014) Translation of Michael Sadowsky’s Paper "An Elementary Proof for the Existence of a Developable Möbius Band and the Attribution of the Geometric Problem to a Variational Problem", Journal of Elasticity .
