Dr. Le Thanh Cuong is Head of the Department of Strength of Material and Engineering Structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Vietnam. He received his Ph.D. from Ghent University of Belgium. His research focuses on optimization and structural health monitoring, computational science and engineering, structural stability, dynamic analysis, plates, and shells. He published papers in computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, scientific reports, composite structures, and thin-walled structures.Prof. Amir H. Gandomi is at the Faculty of Engineering & IT, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia.Laith Abualigah is at Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah College for Information Technology, Al Al-Bayt University, Mafraq, 130040, Jordan.Dr. Samir Khatir is currently Doctor Researcher at Ghent University Belgium Soete laboratory and Adjunct Doctor Assistant at Ho Chi Minh Open University Vietnam. He received Ph.D. in Civil engineering from Ghent University and another Ph.D. in Mechanical engineering from UMBB Algeria. He improved and created many techniques for damage identification and created and improved a new optimization technique. He has authored and co-authored over 100 ISI peer-reviewed articles. His primary research interest is in the areas of civil and mechanical engineering such as FEM, XFEM, Iso-geometric analysis (IGA), extended Iso-geometric analysis (XIGA), dynamic, static, damage identification, fracture mechanics, optimization, inverse problem, wear, friction, laminated composites, delamination, and transmissibility.
