　　附：Daniel Rittel教授簡介

　　D. Rittel holds a PhD in Materials Science (1988) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He spent 2 years as a postdoc at Yale University working on the fracture of tungsten base heavy alloys, followed by 3.5 years at EcolePolytechnique (France), working on experimental dynamic fracture mechanics. He joined Technion (Mechanical Engineering) in 1994 where he founded the Dynamic Fracture Laboratory.

　　As of today, D. Rittel holds the Zandman Chair in Experimental Mechanics, heads the Materials Mechanics Center. He is also the Deputy Senior Vice President (Vice Provost) of Technion.

　　D. Rittel was the Clark B. Millikan Visiting Professor in Aeronautics (2007) at Caltech where he holds a Visiting Associate position, and incumbent of a Catedra de Excellencia at UC3M (Madrid) in 2012, where he is now Honorary Professor.

　　Throughout the years, D. Rittel has developed expertise in many aspects of dynamic failure, including fracture mechanics, constitutive behavior, dynamic failure mechanisms and numerical modeling. He is a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) and of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

　　D. Rittel’s interest is in the thermomechanics and physics of dynamic failure with regard to dynamic fragmentation, fracture, adiabatic shear banding and hysteretic heating. In addition, D. Rittel is also active in the field of biomechanics of dental implants. As of today, he has co-authored about 160 journal publications. Among these journal papers, 2 in Physical Review Letters, 7 in Applied Physics Letters, 2 in Science Report, 13 in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 15 in International Journal of Impact Engineering, 19 in Mechanics of Materials, 25 in Experimental Mechanics, 10 in International Journal Solids and Structures.

　　Dr. Rittel is Associate Editor of Mechanics of Materials, the International Journal of Engineering Science, as well as the International Journal of Impact Engineering. In 2015, D. Rittel was awarded the prestigious GiliAgostinelli Prize (Torino Academy of Sciences, Italy) for his work on adiabatic shear localization. In 2018, he will receive the BJ. Lazan award from the SEM.
