Ted Belychko
Ted B. Belytschko (born January 13, 1943 in Proskurow , Ukrainian SSR ; † September 15, 2014 ) was an American engineering scientist.
Life
Ted Belytschko studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1965 and a doctorate in mechanics in 1968. He was then assistant professor , from 1973 associate professor and from 1976 professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He was Professor of Statics ( Structural Mechanics ) at Northwestern University since 1977 , and from 1991 as Walter P. Murphy Professor of Numerical Mechanics .
Belytschko developed grid-free numerical methods in solid mechanics and extended finite element methods specifically for modeling crack propagation. He also modeled nanotubes and fracture behavior using molecular mechanics .
In 2001 he received the Timoshenko Medal , in 1999 the Von Karman Medal and in 2011 the William Prager Medal . He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences , the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering . He was an honorary doctor in Liège and the École Normale in Paris.
Belytschko was editor of the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering .
