    Abstract
  •   Objective  The Chinese academic community is well known for J. S. Lee’s creation of geomechanics, but the academic community’s understanding of “geomechanics” is still different, and some scholars have doubts about J. S. Lee’s creation of geomechanics. As a result, the understanding of J. S. Lee’s academic contributions is biased, and there is also an obvious dispute whether J. S. Lee’s Geomechanics and geomechanics as used by the international community belong to the same term, which will more or less affect the use of geomechanics terms and the development of the discipline.  Methods  On the basis of long-term practice in geomechanics research, the author, through systematic study and analysis of J. S. Lee’s geomechanics works (especially J. S. Lee’s book entitled “Fundamentals and Methods of Geomechanics”, 1945 edition), combined with in-depth research and analysis.  Results & Conclusion  The author confirms that J. S. Lee not only founded geomechanics, but also made a number of groundbreaking contributions to geomechanics such as proposing the concept of principal stress plane and principal stress; introducing the Mohr’s circle into the analysis of structural deformation mechanics; establishing the analytical expression of the generalized Hooke’s law, etc. On this basis, the geomechanics established by J. S. Lee is briefly reviewed, and the development history and prospects of geomechanics are concisely summarized and envisioned.  Significance  This article was completed on the 135th anniversary of J. S. Lee’s birth to commemorate his pioneering contributions to geomechanics.
