Computational Structural Mechanics
Aerospace Engineering
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Harry H. Hilton received BS and MS degrees in aeronautical engineering in 1947 and 1949 from New York University and a Ph. D. in theoretical and applied mechanics with a minor in mathematics from UIUC in 1951. He has been at UIUC since 1949. He has held several academic positions, including the AE department head from 1974 to 1985 and during the '89 and '90 summers he was an assistant dean of engineering. From 1997 to 2001, he was appointed Charles E. Schmidt Distinguished Visiting Professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Rotan. He has extensive analytical and computational research experience and is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in deterministic and stochastic linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity. His other active research areas are creep buckling, solid propellant structural integrity, linear and nonlinear viscoelastic finite element analysis, random material properties and characterization, damping, flutter and divergence of inelastic lifting surfaces, aerodynamic noise, stochastic failure analysis, viscoelastic crack propagation, piezo-viscoelasticity, structural control, electronic packaging, composites, structural survivability, computational structural mechanics and numerical analysis. He is an AIAA fellow and a director of Sigma Gamma Tau, the national aerospace honorary society and is on the Editorial Board of a book series entitled Advances in High-Performance Computing. He also has been employed as a consultant by several large aerospace companies.
Since his retirement in August 1990, he has remained active in teaching, research and in professional and public services. Since retirement, he has taught one 400 or 500 level AAE or TAM course each semester as well as numerous individual special problem courses and continues to advise MS and Ph. D. thesis and minority program students. During his retirement, he has published or had accepted for publication (1990-97), (1996), (1997), (1998), (2000), (2001), (2002), (2003), (2004) in archival journals or proceedings over 170 research papers. He and Professor Sung Yi (Portland State University) are also writing an advanced graduate book titled Anisotropic Viscoelasticity with Applications to Composites and Damping. Among other recent sponsored funding, he has been the recipient in 1984 of a $2,000,000 IBM CAD/CAM equipment grant, in 1987 of a $154,000 AT&T equipment grant, in 1987 of a $75,000 start up grant for an AE instructional computer laboratory and in 1990-91 of a $203,500 one year viscoelastic composite finite element analysis research grant from the IBM Palo Alto Research Center. He was an active research member of the DoE-ASCI UIUC Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets. He also serves as Senior Academic Lead for Computational Structural/Solid Mechanics at NCSA where he has active research grants with the Boeing Co., the Air Force, DoD and NASA, varying from $200,000 to $650,00 per year. He is also a faculty member in the Computational Science and Engineering program.
He also remains very active with his professional and public services. On campus he is a member of the UIUC Senate and its Executive Committee as well as the Chair of its Honorary Degree Committee, and is active in the AAUP and Sigma Xi. He continues to be involved in student activities as faculty advisor to two student organizations. Off campus, he is a member of 2 national and 2 international scientific committees, which are in the process of organizing professional conferences for 2005 and 2006, past member and chair of the City of Champaign Human Relations Commission, of the steering committee of the Champaign County ACLU Chapter and past treasurer of A Woman's Fund Foundation board of directors.
