Ogden is a world leader in solid mechanics including nonlinear elasticity. He has
developed countless applications; notably rubber elasticity and the mechanics of soft
biological tissue. His contributions to constitutive ineCualities; wave propagation;
growth mechanics; and the effects of pre-stress and residual stress are legendary.
Ogden;s more recent contributions in nonlinear electroelastic and magnetoelastic interactions
have set the standard.
He has published more than 2; 0 papers in international ;ournals; and several books
including “Non-Linear Elastic Deformations; ;Ellis Horwood; 1; ; ; ; reissued; Dover;
1; ; ; ; and “Nonlinear Electroelastic and Magnetoelastic Interactions; ;Springer; 201; ;.

Exchanges Committee ;2010–12;.
An ASME member; Ogden has been serving on the Applied Mechanics Division;s
Elasticity Committee since 2000. He received the Society;s Warner T. Koiter Medal in
200; .
Ogden is a ; ellow of the Royal Society of London; the Royal Society of Edinburgh
and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
His other honors include the William Prager Medal ;2010; from the Society of Engineering
Science and the Rodney Hill Prize in Solid Mechanics ;201; ; from Elsevier and
the International - nion of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
Ogden earned his bachelor;s degree in mathematics; and his master;s degree and
Ph.D. in solid mechanics and applied mathematics at the - niversity of Cambridge;
- .K.; in 1; ; ; and 1; ; 0; respectively.
