from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holm Altenbach  (born May 8,  1956  in  Leipzig ) is a German  university professor and editor . He holds the Chair of  Technical Mechanics at  the Institute for  Mechanics  ( IFME ) at  Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg .

Career

Holm Altenbach is the son of Johannes Altenbach, who was also a university professor in Magdeburg . After attending school in Magdeburg, he attended the workers and farmers faculty of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), where he passed the matriculation examination in 1974 (equivalent to the Abitur ). At the MLU, he attended the institute in preparation for studying abroad . He then studied at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in what was then the Soviet Union , first at the Faculty of Energy Engineering from 1974 and then from 1975 at the Faculty of Physics and Mechanical Engineering. In 1980 he completed his studies with a diploma in the field of dynamics and stability of machines with distinction. The diploma thesis "On the stability of a three-layer strip" was created under the supervision of Pavel A. Zhilin. After completing his studies, he worked as a research assistant at the Otto von Guericke Technical University in Magdeburg. Altenbach remained connected to the Leningrad Institute as a doctoral student and in 1983 was under Vladimir A. Pal'mov, like Pavel A. Zhilin a student of Anatoly Isaakovich Lurie, a candidate in technical sciences (equivalent to Dr.-Ing. ) With a thesis on elastic bowls of inhomogeneous thickness properties based on Timoshenko theory doctorate . Between 1985 and 1987 he had another research stay in Leningrad, where he completed his habilitation in 1987 with a thesis on the direct approach in the theory of viscoelastic shells to obtain a doctorate in technical sciences (equivalent to a Dr.-Ing.habil. ). He then returned to Magdeburg and worked as a senior assistant at the now converted Technical University of Magdeburg .

In 1992 Altenbach was a research fellow from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Krupp fellowship) at the Ruhr University in Bochum (Faculty of Civil Engineering).

From 1995 he took on the professorship of the chair of technical mechanics at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg , which had been vacant since the departure of Wolfgang Pfefferkorn in 1993. On March 7, 1996, Altenbach accepted the university professorship. As a result of political decisions by the state of Saxony-Anhalt , Altenbach's chair was transferred to Otto von Guericke University on April 1, 2011 . There he is currently also the managing director of the Institute for Mechanics.

During his career, Altenbach held several visiting professorships and teaching positions at the following universities:

In addition, he had stays as part of research semesters at the following universities:

His students include Konstantin Naumenko (Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg), Stephan Schönfelder (University of Technology, Economics and Culture Leipzig), Walter Fischer (University of Applied Sciences Landshut) and Christian Dresbach (University Bonn-Rhein-Sieg) .

Research focus

The focus of Altenbach's work is on planar structures . The background is mostly the development of advanced approaches for engineering applications. In addition to single-layer constructions, he also deals with composite structures. In addition to the pure structural design, material modeling is also used to forecast damage and failure.

In addition, he deals with the fundamentals of generalized continuum theories , especially the continuums, in which additional rotational degrees of freedom are introduced a priori and are based on the work of the brothers Eugène Maurice Pierre Cosserat and François Nicolas Cosserat . For this purpose he organized u. a. several workshops and seminars. The conference volumes published for this testify the current progress in this theory-heavy research area:

  • Mechanics of Generalized Continua, Springer, 2011 (together with Gérard A. Maugin and Vladimir Erofeev)
  • Generalized Continua - from the Theory to Engineering Applications, Springer, 2013 (with Victor A. Eremeyev)
  • Generalized Continua as Models for Materials: with Multi-scale Effects or Under Multi-field Actions, Springer, 2013 (together with Samuel Forest and Anton Krivtsov)
  • Generalized Continua as Models for Classical and Advanced Materials, Springer, 2016 (with Samuel Forest)
  • Higher Gradient Materials and Related Generalized Continua, Springer, 2019 (together with Wolfgang Helmut Müller and Bilen Emek Abali)

Awards

The Technical University of Lublin (Gold Medal) and the National Technical University of Kharkiv (Semko Medal) have recognized Altenbach for its outstanding achievements in the field of engineering. In addition, he received honorary doctorates ( Dr. hc ) from the following universities:

In 2018 he received the Alexander von Humboldt Polish Honorary Research Fellowship of the Foundation for Polish Science for research stays at the Politechnika Lubelska in the years 2018-2020. On November 15, 2019, he was elected a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Department of Energy, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics and Control Processes, Section Mechanics).

He is a member of the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and the German University Association.

Editorships

Altenbach has been one of the editors-in-chief of the journal for applied mathematics and mechanics since 2005 . In addition, he performs various tasks on the advisory boards of the following specialist journals:

Together with Andreas Öchsner ( Griffith University ) and Lucas Filipe Martins da Silva ( University of Porto ) he publishes the book series "Advanced Structured Materials", "SpringerBriefs in Continuum Mechanics" and "SpringerBriefs in Computational Mechanics" at Springer Verlag In 2020 Altenbach will publish the "Encyclopedia of Continuum Mechanics" with Andreas Öchsner, which, like the handbook of physics , aims to present the status of the entire scientific field. The work is subject to constant updating of content (referred to as the Living Edition ).
