His subsequent research at the University of Istanbul enhanced his reputation still further, so that on his arrival at Brown University in 1941 he was a key member of the world-famous group that was brought together at that time to place applied mechanics in the United States at a firm high level of applied mathematics. The first issue of the Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, which he edited continuously from the time he founded it until 1965, appeared in April 1943.

His own research during this period covered an enormous diversity of topics in the mechanics of continua of all types, problems of traffic flow, and application of computers to problems in economics and engineering. A small sampling of this pioneering work in applied mechanics includes his illuminating representations in function space developed with Professor Synge, variational principles for stability, stress-strain relations in the plastic range including the effects of temperature, the theorems of limit analysis and design, minimum weight structures, geometric representation of the slip-line field in the stress plane and hodograph plane, solutions with stress discontinuities, dynamic plasticity, and his inventive models of material behavior as kinematic hardening and ideal locking.
