Plasticity, Damage and Fracture in Advanced Materials

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr. h.c. mult. Holm Altenbach is a member of the International Research Center on Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MoCS), Italy, and International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM). In 1996, he was appointed as a Full Professor (Engineering Mechanics) at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, and since 2011, he has been a Full Professor at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. He graduated from Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1980 (diploma with a distinction), and defended his Ph.D. and obtained his postgraduate degree (habilitation) from the same university in 1983 and 1987, respectively. His areas of scientific interest include: - Theory of plates and shells with applications - Continuum mechanics and material modeling - Generalized media - Sandwiches and laminates He is an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics/Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik (the oldest journal in mechanics in Germany) and of Springer's Advanced Structured Materials series. He is a member of the editorial board of the following journals: Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Technische Mechanik, Mechanics of Composite Materials, and Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design.
