Clifford Truesdell (1919–2000) was an American mathematician and physicist known for his foundational work in the fields of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. He made significant contributions to the mathematical theory of material behavior, particularly in the areas of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity. Truesdell emphasized the importance of rigorous mathematical formulations in physical theories and was known for his efforts to formalize continuum mechanics using a mathematical language.
