Professor Sadok Sassi is currently a Full Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Qatar University. He obtained his B.E. (Mechanical Engineering, 1986 ) from “Ecole Nationale d’Ingenieurs de Tunis”, Tunisia, and M.Sc. (1989) and Ph.D. (1993) from the “Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal”, Canada. His major areas of research interests include: Mechanical Vibrations; Machinery Dynamics, Modeling, and Numerical Simulation; Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis of Rotating Machines; and Control of Instabilities in Mechanical Systems. He has published more than 80 papers in respected international journals and conferences.
Jiří Náprstek finished his studies at the Faculty of Civil Engineering – Czech Technical University in 1966 in the discipline of Engineering Mechanics. He has been awarded by Ph D. degree in 1972 and the title of DSc. was granted to him in 1996. Jiří Náprstek is the chairman of the Czech Society of Mechanics, chairman of several panels of prestigious medals and awards domestic and worldwide. He has spent his professional life mostly in studies of various aspects of Stochastic and Nonlinear Dynamics, Dynamic Stability, High Order Non-holonomic Systems, Stochastic Resonance, Flow Induced Vibrations, Effects of Inertial Moving Load and other non-selfadjoint systems. He published about 400 papers in international IF journals and proceedings of prestigious conferences. He is a co-author of 4 monographs and coordinator of 5 edited books. J. Náprstek was chairman of 3 international and 8 national conferences on Engineering Mechanics and Dynamics. He organized mini-symposia oriented to Nonlinear Dynamics at many prestigious international conferences. For his scientific activity he has been awarded by many international and domestic medals and prices.
Professor Paritosh Biswas, MSc (Cal), Ph D (Science) is a Retired Principal of a College affiliated to the University of North Bengal (Raja Rammohanpur, Darjeeling District, India). He is a Senior Academician – Researcher in Higher Mathematics and Social Sciences, Jalpaiguri (India). He has made significant contribution to research in the field of linear and nonlinear analysis of plate and shell structures under mechanical and thermal loading. He has made extensive academic visits to different Universities and Research Institutes in India and Abroad. He has contributed several Chapters on thermo-elastic deformations and vibrations in the four-volumes in the famous Monograph “Encyclopaedia of Thermal Stresses” [ Edited by Prof. Richard B. Hetnarsky (University of Rochester, USA) and published by Springer Nature from Germany], and has edited/ co-edited as many as thirty Conference Volumes relating to vibration sciences. He is the Founder of two internationally recognized Mathematical Conferences [ ICOVP and WMVC] on Vibration Analysis having applications to Engineering Mechanics and Aeronautical Sciences. He has also guided several researchers leading to Ph D (Science) degrees from the University of North Bengal who have also made several publications in some Scopus-indexed international journals. He is one of the Nominators of the coveted “Japan Prize” of the Japan Prize Foundation, Tokyo (Japan), he has published as many as one hundred twenty research papers on vibration analysis in reputed referred journals. He is also one of the three co-editors of the book entitled “Some classified problems of plates and shells’ published by the Von Karman Society, Jalpaiguri (India).
