Dr. Stephen Antolovich –

Dr. Stephen Antolovich is a world recognized expert in experimental and theoretical fatigue and fracture mechanics with forty years of metallurgical experience. Professor Antolovich has authored over 100 archival articles in leading technical journals and books and has lectured in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Korea, and Japan. Prof. Antolovich has been adviser to over 50 graduate students, many of whom now occupy top positions in industry, government and academia. In addition to earning the admiration of his students, Dr. Antolovich has earned numerous teaching awards, served on countless advisory committees, and carried out funded research for dozens of organizations. His principal interests are fracture mechanics, fatigue, fracture, and deformation of engineering and model materials. He received his B.S. and M.S. from the University of Wisconsin in Metallurgical Engineering in 1962 and 1963 respectively and Ph.D. from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1966 in Materials Science. He was a lecturer at the Univ. of California, a professor at Univ. of Cincinnati, Director of the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Materials Engineering, Professeur Invite by CNAM University in Paris, and Director of the Washington State Univ. School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. He is a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology and still serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Failure Analysis and a key reader for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions. Currently Dr. Antolovich is Professor of Materials Science and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Washington State University and Professor Emeritus, School of Materials Science, Georgia Institute of Technology. He also holds appointments at Ecole des Mines, Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers, Universite de Technologie de Compiegne in France for teaching, research, and student advisement (1976-present).
