TitleOgden, Raymond William: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionCertificate of Election
CitationRay Ogden is recognised internationally as a leading authority on the nonlinear theory of elasticity and its applications. His distinguished theoretical contributions include the derivation of exact solutions of nonlinear boundary-value problems, for both compressible and incompressible materials, and an extensive analysis of the linear and nonlinear stability of prestressed bodies and related studies of elastic wave propagation. His book Non-Linear Elastic Deformations, published in 1984 and reissued in 1999, has become a standard reference and a source of stimulus to workers in this branch of solid mechanics. In the field of applications, Ogden's work on modelling the elastic, and latterly aspects of the inelastic behaviour of rubber-like solids has been highly influential. The constitutive laws which he has developed have been incorporated into several commercial finite element software packages used by engineers, in the aerospace and automotive industries in particular, for design calculations. In recent years Ogden has considerably widened his range of interests to include the mechanics of thin-film elastic surface coatings on finitely deformed elastic substrates, the biomechanics of soft tissue, with particular reference to arterial wall mechanics, constitutive laws for constrained finitely deformable solids such as carbon-fibre reinforced elastomers, and the magnetoelasticity of magneto-sensitive materials used in active damping devices, collaborating as appropriate with mathematicians and engineers in Europe and North America. He has published in all around 130 research papers and has a substantial record of service to the mathematical community, notably as an editor; he is currently a member of the Editorial Board of Proceedings A.
