Election Remark
Ted Bohdan Belytschko (January 13, 1943 – September 15, 2014) was an American mechanical engineer.He was Walter P. Murphy Professor and McCormick Professor of Computational Mechanics at Northwestern University.

He worked in the field of computational solid mechanicsand was known for development of methods like element-free Galerkin method and the Extended finite element method.
Belytschko was named in ISI Database as the fourth most cited engineering researcher in January 2004.

He was also the editor of the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering.

In 1992, he was elected as member of the European Academy of Engineering.

He died at the age of 71 on September 15, 2014.
 
Ted Belytschko spends much of his time researching Finite element method, Mathematical analysis, Extended finite element method, Structural engineering and Geometry.
