| K. Bathe, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA |
|
Klaus-Jürgen Bathe, born and raised in Germany, graduated in 1967 with a BSc degree in Civil Engineering from the University
of Cape Town, South Africa. He went on to receive MSc and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Calgary, Canada and
the University of California, Berkeley, USA in 1969 and 1971 respectively.
Currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), Professor Bathe is also the founder of ADINA R & D Inc., the company developing the ADINA System used
worldwide for the nonlinear finite element analysis of structures and fluids. In addition, Professor Bathe has been a consultant to a
large number of corporations in Europe, Japan and the USA. His research focuses on the non-linear analysis of solids and structures,
fluids and heat transfer, and the analysis of fluid flows with structural interactions.
Professor Bathe is the author of over 180
publications. His most recent book is Finite Element Procedures (Prentice Hall, 1996). He also serves on the Editorial Boards
of many prestigious journals, including Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering (Elsevier), Finite Elements
in Analysis and Design (Elsevier) and International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering (Wiley).
The American
Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Pi Tau Sigma and the graduate students of MIT and, most recently,
the US National Academy of Engineering have all honoured Professor Bathe for his outstanding contributions to the fields of engineering
education and research. |

| B. Topping, Department of Mechanics and Chemical Engineering, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK, and University of Pécs, Hungary |
|
Barry Topping was awarded a first class BSc degree in Civil Engineering in 1975 and went on to gain a PhD degree in Structural
Optimization in 1978, both from City University, London, UK.
Presently Professor of Computational Mechanics at Heriot-Watt University,
Edinburgh, UK, Professor Topping has been awarded numerous European, UK Research Council, Department of the Environment and Industrial
Research contracts and has undertaken computational consultancy for government authorities, consulting engineers and contractors. In
addition, Professor Topping has presented lectures throughout the world, including Europe, China and the USA. His research is primarily
concerned with the application of computational technology to structural mechanics including parallel and distributed computing.
Professor
Topping is the author or editor of over 100 technical publications covering various aspects of engineering computation. He has recently
co-authored the book Parallel Finite Element Computations (Sax-Coburg, 1996) and is Co-Editor of the journal Advances in
Engineering Software (Elsevier). He is also an Editorial Board member for a number of other leading scientific journals including Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (Elsevier), Engineering Computations (MCB University Press) and Engineering Optimization (Gordon & Breach).
In 1990, Professor Topping was awarded a Telford Premium by the Institution
of Civil Engineers, London, UK for a paper concerned with structural engineering re-analysis. |
