Icscea 2019: Proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering and Architecture

Prof. Reddy is a Distinguished Professor, Regents' Professor, and inaugural holder of the Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, USA. He is the author of nearly 700 journal papers and 21 books (several with second, third, and fourth editions) on energy principles, variational methods, plates and shells, composite materials, mechanics of solids, and the finite element method (linear and nonlinear) and its applications. Dr. Reddy has delivered over 175 plenary, keynote, and invited lectures at international conferences, and taught 116 short courses on continuum mechanics, variational methods, linear and nonlinear finite elements, composite materials, and nonlocal structural theories. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and Foreign Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, and the Brazilian National Academy of Engineering, and a honorary member of the European Academy of Engineering. He received numerous awards, and most recent one is the 2019 Timoshenko Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.Prof. Wang is the TMR Chair Professor of Structural Engineering at the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland, Australia. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, a Fellow of the Academy of Engineering Singapore, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Singapore, and a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers. His research focuses on structural stability, vibration, optimization, and very large floating structures, and he has published over 440 journal papers and 10 books in these areas. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics and an editorial board member of several journals, including Engineering Structures, Ocean Systems Engineering, Structures and the International Journal of Applied Mechanics.
