Dr. B.A. Schrefler is Professor of Structural Mechanics at the University of Padua (since 1980) and Secretary General of the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine. He graduated with an Honours degree in Engineering (dottore in ingegneria) from the University of Padua in 1967, and obtained his Ph.D. and D.Sc. at the University of Wales. He received an honorary doctorate from the St. Petersburg State Technical University in 1999 and a Guest Professorship from the University of Technology of Dalian in 2001. In 1998 he was elected Fellow in the International Association of Computational Mechanics. He has published over 290 papers on structural engineering, soil mechanics and environmental mechanics, and on technology for nuclear fusion, and has written or edited 20 books; (among which The Finite Element Method in the Deformation and Consolidation of Porous Media with R.W. Lewis, Wiley, 1987 (344 pp), an accepted state of the art book, The Finite Element Method in the Static and Dynamic Deformation and Consolidation of Porous Media, with R.W. Lewis, Wiley, 1998 (2nd edition, 508 pp), and Computational Soil Dynamics with Special Reference to Earthquake Engineering, with O.C. Zienkiewicz, A.H.C. Chan, M. Pastor and T. Shiomi, Wiley, 1999 (398 pp)).
He serves on the editorial board of 15 International Journals and is Associate Editor of Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics & Engineering . He is an Executive Council Member of IACM (International Association for Computational Mechanics), Bureau Member of ECCOMAS (European Community of Computational Methods in Applied Sciences), Executive Council Member of the Congress Committee of IUTAM (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics), Chairman of the Solid Mechanics Conference Committee of Euromech (European Mechanics Society) and Past Chairman of the Italian Association for Computational Mechanics GIMC/AIMETA.
