Raymond William Ogden FRS (born 19 September 1943) is a British applied mathematician.
[3] Ogden earned his BA and PhD degrees from the University of Cambridge in 1970, under the supervision of Rodney Hill.
His theoretical contributions include the derivation of exact solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems, for both compressible and incompressible materials, and an analysis of the linear and nonlinear stability of pre-stressed bodies and related studies of elastic wave propagation.
[3] In the field of applications, Ogden worked on modelling the elastic and inelastic behaviour of rubber-like solids.
[3] His book, Non-Linear Elastic Deformations, published in 1984 and reissued in 1999, has become a standard reference in this branch of solid mechanics.
