Ray W. Ogden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond "Ray" W. Ogden (* 1943 ) is a British engineer and applied mathematician and Professor at the University of Glasgow ( George Sinclair Professor of Mathematics ).

Ogden received his doctorate in applied mathematics from Cambridge University in 1970, where he made his bachelor's degree in mathematics with top marks in 1966 and distinguished himself in Part III of the Tripos in 1967 . As a post-doctoral student he was a scholarship holder of the Science Research Council at the University of East Anglia , from 1972 lecturer and from 1976 reader at the University of Bath and from 1981 professor at Brunel University . In 1984 he became a professor in Glasgow, where he was head of the mathematics faculty from 1986 to 1994. In 2010 he became Professor of Mechanics at the University of Aberdeen (Sixth Century Chair in Mechanics).

He is concerned with nonlinear elasticity theory and in 1972 designed a constitutive model named after him for hyperelastic materials (whose constitutive model is based on an approach to strain energy) such as rubber and biological tissues such as arteries. He also deals with the relationships between electrodynamics and mechanical elasticity of materials.

In 2010 he received the William Prager Medal and in 2005 the Warner T. Koiter Medal from ASME. In 1987 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and in 2006 of the Royal Society . For 2016 he was awarded the Tymoshenko Medal by ASME.
