Meet the editors

Prof. Casavola is a full professor of Mechanical Design at Politecnico di Bari and she teaches *Design of Innovative Materials*, *Experimentation on Aerostructures and Experimental Mechanics*. Prof Casavola's research activity is concerned with mechanical characterization of innovative materials, experimental stress analysis on real components (1:1 scale) and *in situ* inspection, study of residual stress generation, evolution and measurements

(hole drilling method both with strain gage rosette and ESPI, X-Ray diffractometer, Barkhausen noise), and monitoring of electronic board and components by means of speckle interferometry. Prof. Casavola is the Scientific Director of the Laboratory of Static and Dynamic tests, Laboratory of Residual Stresses, Laboratory of Experimental Stress Analysis, Laboratory EMILIA (Experimental Mechanics Integrated Laboratory In Aerospace), and the Laboratory of Telemetry at Politecnico di Bari.

Claudia Barile has been a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics and Management at the Politecnico di Bari since April 2017. She achieved her Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering Magna cum laude in July 2008 at the Politecnico di Bari. She received her PhD title on February 2012 in Advanced Production Systems at the Politecnico di Bari. Her research activities are mainly focused on the mechanical characterization

of materials (composites, metals, polymers) with both traditional and innovative experimental techniques.

Dr. Vincenzo Moramarco has been a Lecturer at the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics and Management at the Politecnico di Bari since April 2017. In 2010 he received the PhD title (Doctor Europaeus) in Bioengineering and Biomechanical Engineering from Scuola Interpolitecnica di Dottorato (Turin). His research activities are mainly focused on the experimental mechanical characterization and numerical modelling of materi-

als both under static and dynamic load conditions. His work deals with various families of materials (e.g. polymers, metals, foams, biological hyper-elastic materials, sandwich panels and materials obtained by additive manufacturing techniques). He is familiar with several experimental techniques (e.g. thermography, optical methods, X-ray diffractometry) to measure stress, deformation and residual stresses of materials and components.

Giovanni Pappalettera has been a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics and Management at the Politecnico di Bari since 2015. He achieved his Master's degree in Physics Magna cum laude in 2003 at the Università di Bari. He received his PhD title on 2011 in Mechanical Design at the Scuola Interpolitecnica di Dottorato in Torino. His research activities are mainly focused on optical methods for mechanical characterization of

materials and residual stress measurements, 3D contouring and acoustic emission analysis in fracture mechanics. He is co-inventor of three patented devices.
