Biografía del autor

Tom H. Hyde, Wei Sun, and Chris J. Hyde have been on the engineering faculty at the University of Nottingham for a combined period of 56 years. All three are highly active researchers and teachers in solid mechanics, with a strong emphasis on the high-temperature behavior of materials and components. The authors have published more than 400 papers and have successfully supervised more than 50 PhD students. They have taught modules to students at all levels in BSc, MSc, BEng, and MEng courses, as well as having taught industry-based courses. Funding for their research has been obtained from a wide range of governmental and industrial collaborators. Professor Tom Hyde was the founding director of the Rolls-Royce UTC (University Technology Centre) on aero-engine transmission systems, at the University of Nottingham. Wei Sun is an associate professor, and Chris Hyde is a lecturer.
