Toshio Mura (村 外志夫, Mura Toshio, December 7, 1925 – August 9, 2009) was a professor of engineering. He was born in Ono, a small port village of Kanazawa Japan, on December 7, 1925. He received a doctorate in the Department of Applied Mathematics of the University of Tokyo in 1954. He taught at Meiji University, Japan from 1954 to 1958. In 1958, he went to the United States to work in the Department of Materials Science at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He became a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering in 1966 before his retirement in 1996, and also held an appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

| - Toshio Mura (村 外志夫, Mura Toshio, December 7, 1925 – August 9, 2009) was a professor of engineering. He was born in Ono, a small port village of Kanazawa Japan, on December 7, 1925. He received a doctorate in the Department of Applied Mathematics of the University of Tokyo in 1954. He taught at Meiji University, Japan from 1954 to 1958. In 1958, he went to the United States to work in the Department of Materials Science at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He became a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering in 1966 before his retirement in 1996, and also held an appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Mura was appointed Walter P. Murphy Professor in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern, was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 1986 for his contributions to the field of micromechanics, and received many other accolades for his work. He was as much recognized for his academic achievement as his generosity in opening his home to visiting scholars and graduate students from Japan, where weekend gatherings were a regular occurrence. Dr. Mura was interested in the micromechanics of solids. Examples of micromechanics are theories on fracture and fatigue of materials, mathematical analysis for dislocations and inclusions in solids, mechanical characterization of thin films, ceramics and composite materials. Professor Mura was also interested in the inverse problems. His research aimed to predict inelastic damages in solids by knowing surface displacements on the surface of the solids, including prediction of earthquake by knowing the earth surface. The inverse problems play an important role in qualitative nondestructive evaluation of materials. Most of Professor Mura's research was mathematically oriented but cooperative with experiments in mechanics and materials science. Professor Mura died of heart related complications on August 9, 2009, at the age of 83. (en)

Exemplos da micromecânica são mecânica da fratura e fadiga dos materiais, análise matemática de deslocamentos e inclusões em sólidos, caracterização mecânica de películas finas, cerâmica e materiais compostos. Mura foi também interessado em problemas inversos. Sua pesquisa visou predizer danos inelásticos em sólidos conhecendo deslocamentos superficiais sobre a superfície dos sólidos, incluindo predição de terremoto conhecendo a superfície da terra. Os problemas inversos desempenham um papel fundamental em avaliação qualitativa não-destrutiva de materiais. Mura morreu de complicações relativas ao coração em 9 de agosto de 2009, aos 83 anos de idade. (pt)
