Valter Carvelli has been Professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics at Politecnico di Milano in Italy since 2007. His main research activity is dedicated to the experimental measurement and numerical prediction of the mechanical properties of composites, with particular attention to the fatigue response.
Atul Jain currently teaches in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur. His interests lie in the intersection of manufacturing and mechanics of composites with a slight bias towards the latter.
