In Memoriam<br />

H. Reginald Hardy, Jr. (1931 – 2008)<br />

H. Reginald Hardy Jr., Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Emeritus <strong>of</strong> Mining Engineering, Department <strong>of</strong> Energy and<br />

Mineral Engineering, Penn State University, 76, <strong>of</strong> State College, PA, passed away Jan. 22,<br />

2008. Born Aug. 19, 1931, in Ottawa, Canada, Reg was the loyal, loving husband <strong>of</strong> Margaret<br />

M. (Lytle) married in 1954, survived also by his two sons and a granddaughter.<br />

After getting BSc. from McGill University (1953), MSc. from Ottawa University (1962), both in<br />

physics, and Ph.D. in engineering mechanics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1965, Reg<br />

joined the faculty at Penn State in 1966, following 13 years with Canada Department <strong>of</strong> Energy,<br />

Mines and Resources in Ottawa. During the past 40 years, Dr. Hardy had a passion for his<br />

scientific work in appli<strong>ca</strong>tion <strong>of</strong> acoustic emission/microseismic (<strong>AE</strong>/MS) techniques to the<br />

geotechni<strong>ca</strong>l field. He conducted a number <strong>of</strong> major field and laboratory research projects and<br />

directed some 40 Ph.D. and Masters students, published numerous research papers in<br />

geotechni<strong>ca</strong>l and mining journals, four techni<strong>ca</strong>l monographs, and 11 conference proceedings.<br />

Dr. Hardy organized six "Conferences on Acoustic Emission/Microseismic Activity in Geologic<br />

Structures and Materials," (1975-1996) and was active on the editorial review committee <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Journal</strong> <strong>of</strong> Acoustic Emission. His last major work was his book, Acoustic Emission<br />

Microseismic Activity, Vol. 1: Principles, Techniques and Geotechni<strong>ca</strong>l Appli<strong>ca</strong>tions (2003). He<br />

was the recipient <strong>of</strong> the ASTM Hogentogler and Templin Awards, the <strong>AE</strong>WG Achievement and<br />

Gold Medal Awards for "Pioneering work in the geologic appli<strong>ca</strong>tions <strong>of</strong> acoustic emission."<br />

He was working to his last day, perhaps on the second volume <strong>of</strong> his book. Reg will be sincerely<br />

missed by his family, friends and colleagues. (http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=LS000101786354X)<br />
