Mechanical Behavior of Materials

Marc A. Meyers is a Distinguished Professor of Nanoengineering at the University of California, San Diego, known for his expertise on the dynamic behavior of materials. He is a recipient of the TMS Educator Award (2013), the ASM International Albert Easton White Distinguished Teacher Award (2015), and the APS George Duvall Shock Compression Science Award (2017). He is a co-author of Biological Materials Science (2014), and is a Fellow of TMS, ASM International, and the APS. Krishan K. Chawla is an Emeritus Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and a former Program Director for Metals and Ceramics in the US NSF Division of Materials Research.
