Philip Gibson Hodge (born November 9, 1920 in New Haven , Connecticut , † November 11, 2014 in Sunnyvale , California ) was an American engineering scientist who was particularly concerned with the theory of plasticity .
Hodge studied at Antioch College with a bachelor's degree in 1943 and received his doctorate from Brown University under William Prager in 1949 (On Torsion Of Plastic Bars, Approximate solutions Of Problems Of Plane Plastic Flow) In 1949, he became Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles , and 1953 Associate Professor and then Professor at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. From 1957 he was a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology and from 1971 at the University of Minnesota , where he retired in 1991. Then he was from 1993 visiting professor at Stanford University.
In 1985 he received the Von Karman Medal . He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an honorary member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers .
