Erkan Oterkus Professor, Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean, and Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. Erkan Oterkus is a Professor in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean, and Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. He is also the Director of the newly established PeriDynamics Research Centre (PDRC) at Strathclyde. Before joining Strathclyde, he was a researcher at NASA Langley Research Center in the US. His main research areas include peridynamics and structural health monitoring. He is the co-author of the first book on peridynamics and has co-authored numerous publications on the topic. He is an associate editor of ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology and Journal of Peridynamics and Nonlocal Modeling. Selda Oterkus Associate Professor, Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean, and Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. Selda Oterkus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean, and Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. She is also the Vice-Director of the PeriDynamics Research Centre. Her research is mainly focused on multiphysics analysis of materials and structures using peridynamics. She is a prolific author in this area and has delivered lectures and seminars on it all around the world. She is also an academic editor of the Shock and Vibration journal and an editorial board member of Journal of Peridynamics and Nonlocal Modeling. Erdogan Madenci Professor, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA. Erdogan Madenci is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona. Prior to that he worked at Northrop Corporation (1983-1985), The Aerospace Corporation (1985-1988), and The Fraunhofer Institute (1989). He also worked at the Royal Institute of Technology (1996), NASA LaRC (2003), Sandia National Labs (2011) and MIT (2018) as part of his sabbatical leaves. He is the lead author of four books and his research has in part led to the publication of 250 journal and conference papers. He also recently started the Journal of Peridynamics and Nonlocal Modeling as the Co-Editor-in-Chief. He is a fellow of ASME and an Associate Fellow of AIAA.
