Wolf Altman obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1966. His dissertation was published in the Journal of IABSE and became a classic. Professor Altman is an engineering educator and researcher with experience as a consultant in structural mechanics in general and in the City Hall of Sao Caetano do Sul. His research endeavors, which include over 60 articles in international journals, have been mainly on weak variational formulations, including the effects of conservative and nonconservative loads on beams, plates and shells, and on physical and nonholonomic components of tensors with application to the theory of elasticity and shells.
