Vladislav Mantič is Professor of Continuum Mechanics at the School of Engineering, University of Seville, where he is currently teaching Solid Mechanics, Elasticity, Fracture Mechanics, Plasticity, Finite and Boundary Element Method. He graduated in Mathematical Engineering from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University of Prague, in 1984. He received his doctorate in Technical Sciences from the Institute of Computer Science in Prague, Czech Academy of Sciences, for his work on computer implementation of Boundary Element Method in 1993. His research is currently focused on Fracture Mechanics, in particular on its applications to predict damage initiation and propagation in Composites and their joints at different scales; Interface Crack analysis and modelling; stress singularity analysis in anisotropic multimaterial corners; non-classical approaches in Fracture Mechanics as coupled criterion of Finite Fracture Mechanics, Cohesive Zone Models, Linear Elastic-Brittle Interface Model, energetic/variational approaches and Surface Elasticity models. He has published more than 90 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals, 8 chapters in international edited books, more than 150 communications to national and international conferences. He recently edited the book: V. Mantič (Ed.), Mathematical Methods and Models in Composites, Imperial College Press, 2014. He currently coordinates the Doctorate Program for Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Organization at the University of Seville.

The AVK, as the German professional association for fibre reinforced plastics/composites, represents the interests of producers and processors of reinforced plastics/composites on a national and a European level. The AVK was founded in 1924 and currently has over 220 member companies (in Germany and abroad) and is therefore one of the largest associations in the European composites sector.

It represents members along the entire value-added chain in the area of reinforced plastics. Its members include manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials as well as processing companies, machine-tool manufacturers, engineering firms, testing authorities and scientific

institutions. The association represents both small and medium-sized companies as well as major multinational concerns.

The AVK is integrated into a strong network of German and European partners. For example, it is one of four sponsoring associations of the GKV - the umbrella organisation of the German plastics converters industry and represented in both the executive and board.

In addition, AVK is a foundation member of the German Composites Umbrella organization “Composites Germany”. Furthermore AVK is represented on the board of the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA).

Walter F. Silva-Araya has a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with concentration in Hydraulic Engineering from Washington State University. He also earned a Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering with concentration in Water Resources from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus (UPRM) and a BS degree in the Civil Engineering from the University of Costa Rica. He is Associate Director of the Puerto Rico Water Resources Research Institute (PRWRRI). Was Director of the R&D Center, Chairman of the Department of Engineering Science and Materials, Director of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the UPRM and Associate Co-Director of the Center for Hemispherical Cooperation (CoHemis).

Dr. Silva-Araya consulting experience in Puerto Rico includes work in hydrologic/hydraulic studies, hydrodynamics, sediment transport, overland erosion and local scour in bridges. Dr Silva’s expertise includes mathematical modeling of hydraulic systems, hydraulic transients and unsteady open channel flows. He does consulting works in water resources, hydraulics and hydrodynamics for private firms and government agencies. He also served as expert witness in several ocassions.

Doctor Silva-Araya is working on funded research. His major research interest is in erosion and sedimentation, vegetative waterways, unsteady closed and open channel flow, rehabilitation of hydraulic structures, enviromental hydraulics and numerical modeling of hydraulic systems. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in fluid mechanics, water resources and advanced hydraulic engineering. Dr. Silva-Araya serves as reviewer for the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, ASCE and is member of CIAPR, and IAHR.

Dr. Silva-Araya has trained professional engineers and technitians during the last 20 years in local and international events, offering short-courses, seminars and workshops in hydraulic modeling and design, design of stormwater systems, erosion and sedimentation control measures. He publishes in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings.
