Biography
Samit Roy has been the William D. Jordan Chair Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, since 2005. Prior to that he was an associate professor at Oklahoma State University (OSU) and the University of MissouriRolla (UMR). Before moving to an academic position, he was a senior research engineer at the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Roy's research interest is directed toward multiscale modeling and failure prediction of fiber reinforced polymer composites and structural adhesives subjected to aggressive environmental conditions, using the finite element method. He has authored 60 journal papers, 11 book chapters, and more than 80 conference papers.
J. N. Reddy
is a University Distinguished Professor, Regents Professor, and holder of the Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station. Dr. Reddy is internationally known for his contributions to theoretical and applied mechanics and computational mechanics. Dr. Reddy is the recipient of numerous awards including the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the Worcester Reed Warner Medal and the Charles Russ Richards Memorial Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He is the author of more than 480 journal papers and 18 books.
