Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Fracture Fatigue and Wear

Prof. Magd Abdel Wahab is Full Professor of Applied Mechanics in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University, Belgium. He received his B.Sc., 1988, in Civil Engineering and his M.Sc., 1991, in Structural Mechanics, both from Cairo University. He completed his Ph.D. in Fracture Mechanics in 1995 at KU Leuven, Belgium. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science from the University of Surrey in 2008. He has published more than 600 scientific papers in solid mechanics and dynamics of structures and edited more than 30 books and proceedings. His research interests include fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, fatigue of materials, durability, and dynamics and vibration of structures.
