In 1953 he was appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Nottingham. His 1950 The Mathematical Theory of Plasticity work[2] forms the foundation of plasticity theory. Hill is widely regarded as among the foremost contributors to the foundations of solid mechanics over the second half of the 20th century. His early work was central to founding the mathematical theory of plasticity. This deep interest led eventually to general studies of uniqueness and stability in nonlinear continuum mechanics, work which has had a profound influence on the field of solid mechanics—theoretical, computational and experimental alike—over the past decades. Hill was the founding editor of the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, still among the principal journals in the field.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} Hill's work is recognized worldwide for its concise style of presentation and exemplary standards of scholarship. Publisher Elsevier, in collaboration with IUTAM, established a quadrennial award in the field of solid mechanics, known as the Rodney Hill Prize, first presented at ICTAM in Adelaide in August 2008.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} The prize consists of a plaque and a cheque for US$25,000. Its first recipient is Michael Ortiz, for his contribution to nonconvex plasticity and deformation microstructures (California Institute of Technology, USA).[3][4] Awards and honoursHill won the Royal Medal in 1993 for his contribution to the theoretical mechanics of soil and the plasticity of solids.[5] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1961.[6][7] He was awarded an Honorary Degree (Doctor of Science) by the University of Bath in 1978. He died on 2 February 2011.[6] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/science-obituaries/8369373/Professor-Rodney-Hill.html|title=Obituaries: Professor Rodney Hill|work=The Telegraph|date=8 March 2011|accessdate=March 25, 2011}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hill, Rodney}}{{UK-mathematician-stub}}2. ^Hill R., The Mathematical Theory of Plasticity, Oxford University Press, 1950. 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://ictam2008.adelaide.edu.au/prizes.php|title=ICTAM 2008 |accessdate=2008-12-18}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cimne.upc.es/iacm/News/Rodney.pdf|title=Rodney Hill Prize for Solid Mechanics (pdf) –|accessdate=2008-12-18}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://royalsociety.org/page.asp?id=1750|title=Royal Medal Winners: 2007 – 1990|accessdate=2008-12-06}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|last1=Sewell|first1=Michael J.|title=Rodney Hill. 11 June 1921 — 2 February 2011|journal=Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society|year=2015|volume=61|issn=0080-4606|doi=10.1098/rsbm.2014.0024}} 7. ^{{cite web | url= http://royalsociety.org/about-us/fellowship/fellows/| title = Fellows |publisher = Royal Society | accessdate = 19 November 2010}} 8 : 1921 births|2011 deaths|Academics of the University of Nottingham|20th-century British mathematicians|21st-century British mathematicians|Fellows of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge|Fellows of the Royal Society|Royal Medal winners |
