J. N. Reddy, Ph.D., is the Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair Professor, a Distinguished Professor, and a Regents Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 100 (per Google Scholar) and the author of 21 books and over 650 journal papers. Dr. Reddy is known worldwide for his significant contributions to the field of applied mechanics for more than 40 years through the authorship of widely used textbooks on linear and nonlinear finite element analysis, variational methods, composite materials and structures, and continuum mechanics.
His pioneering work on the development of shear deformation theories that bear his name in the literature, the Reddy third-order plate theory and the Reddy layerwise theory, has had a major impact and led to new research developments and applications. Some of his ideas on shear deformation and on penalty finite element models of fluid flows have been implemented in commercial finite element computer programs like ABAQUS, NISA, and HyperXtrude.
Dr. Reddy is a Fellow of all major professional societies of engineering (ASME, AIAA, ASCE, AAM, ASC, USACM, IACM), and has received top mechanics medals from these and other societies (ASME Medal, Raymond D. Mindlin Medal, Theodore von Karman Medal, John von Neumann Medal, William Prager Medal, O. C. Zienkiewicz Medal). He is a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and a Foreign Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, Indian National Academy of Engineering, and Brazilian National Academy of Engineering.
