Authors
Thomas J. Pence,Michigan State University
Thomas J. Pence has taught at Michigan State University since 1986. His research in theoretical solid mechanics involves broad aspects of material modeling and structural stability, especially for soft highly deformable materials. A current focus is on the topic of nonlinear elastic and porous media as it relates to biological tissue growth and remodeling. Dr. Pence is active on the editorial boards of The Journal of Elasticity, The International Journal of Solids and Structures, and The Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures. He currently serves on the US National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and was the organizer of the 2014 US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
Indrek S. Wichman,Michigan State University
Indrek S. Wichman has taught at Michigan State University for thirty-three years, during which time he has won two teaching awards and developed or co-developed five courses, including the Engineering Analysis course on which this book is based. His research in combustion is largely theoretical but also has numerical and experimental components. One of the experiments was conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014; another is scheduled for 2021. An American Scientist cover article co-authored by Dr Wichman discussed his microgravity combustion research for NASA. His research has encompassed combustion, diffusion flames and flame/surface interaction as well as ignition, quenching and material flammability studies.
