About the Author Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr.h.c. mult. Holm Altenbach is 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. Since 2011, he is a full professor at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. He graduated from Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1980 (diploma with a distinction). He defended his Ph.D. in 1983 at the same university, where he obtained the habilitation in 1987. 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 one of the Editors-in-Chief of 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. He was awarded the Polish Humboldt Prize in 2018. Bilen Emek Abali has studied and worked in different continents. Currently, he is working as a postdoctoral associate at the Technische Universitaet Berlin in Germany. Among others he has been lecturing in mechanics, composite materials, numerical methods, and multiphysics simulations at different universities. Dr. Abali’s research endeavors are about thermodynamical derivation of governing equations and their computation in engineering systems especially in multiphysics applications. With distinguished scientists in several countries, he has been working in analytical solutions for verifying computations of heterogeneous materials in solids, developing and validating novel numerical solution strategies for multiphysics including fluid–structure interaction and coupled electromagneto-thermomechanical systems, investigating further theoretical methods in describing metamaterials with inner substructure, studying fatigue-related damage in metal alloys, working in mechanochemistry for a theoretical description of stresses in batteries, and also developing inverse analysis methods to characterize soft matter. For all computations, he utilizes and develops open-source packages and makes all codes publicly available in order to encourage scientific exchange.
