Executive summary: Finite element method Engineer and educator Richard H. Gallagher was one of the originators of the finite element method (FEM), an engineering computation technique that is now widely used in the design of aircraft, buildings, and ships, and in the study of electrical phenomena. He also made noteworthy research contributions to computational mechanics, coupled problems, and finite elements in flow problems. Wife: Terese Doyle Gallagher ("Terry", five children)
