مؤلف: Stéphane P. A. Bordas

Stéphane P. A. Bordas is a Professor in Computational Mechanics and earned his Ph D from Northwestern University, USA, in 2004. He has published over 200 papers in unfitted simulation of free boundary problems and data driven modelling of complex systems. He has supervised over 30 Ph D students and is Editor- in-Chief of Advances in Applied Mechanics. Alexander Menk is employed by Bosch Gmb H. He is a Ph D graduate from Glasgow University, UK, supervised by Prof. Bordas. His contributions range from automatic numerically determined enrichment to preconditioners for extended finite element methods for fracture. Sundararajan Natarajan has been a Professor of Computational Mechanics since 2014 and earned his Ph D from Cardiff University, UK, supervised by Prof. Bordas and Prof. Kerfriden. He has made strong contributions to a number of methods on unfitted methods for free boundary problems, in particular on numerical integration and strain smoothing.
