Eugene C. Bingham

Eugene Cook Bingham ( born December 8, 1878 in Cornwall, Vermont, USA, † November 6, 1945 ) was an American chemist and pioneer of modern rheology. Together with Markus Reiner he coined the name rheology. According to him, the Bingham fluids and Bingham model have been appointed.

Life

Bingham finished college in his home state from 1899 to 1905 at the Johns Hopkins University with a Ph.D. to obtain. He spent a year studying at the universities of Berlin, Leipzig and Cambridge. From 1906 to 1915, the professor of chemistry at Richmond College in Vermont. He then worked until 1916 as an assistant physicist at the U.S. Agency for Standardization, where he worked with viscous flow behavior. From 1916 he worked until his death in 1945 at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Work

Eugene C. Bingham wrote 1906-1914 a series of essays on the topics of viscosity and fluidity and 1916, finally, the essay Plastic Flow (German: Plastic flow ). After further publications on these topics and the corresponding measuring devices appeared in 1922 finally his most famous work Fluidity and Plasticity (German: Fluidity and plasticity ).

Together with Markus Reiner Bingham defined the objective of the rheology as an interdisciplinary science and gave her her name. Bingham was instrumental in the founding of the American Society of Rheology, which awards a medal named after him.

Bingham was also involved in the planning of long-distance hiking trail Appalachian Trail.
