DR. THOMAS S. COOK received both his B.S. and Ph.D. from Lehigh University. Following four years at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft’s Materials Laboratory, he joined Southwest Research Institute in 1975 as a Research Engineer. He has worked extensively on high and low temperature fatigue and fracture in a wide range of structural materials.
DR. PHILIP H. FRANCIS received his Ph.D. in engineering mechanics from the University of Iowa in 1965, and his MBA from St. Mary’s University in 1972. He has been with Southwest Research Institute since 1965, and for the last five years Manager of the Solid Mechanics Section. His research interests are deformation and fracture of metals, and the behavior of composite materials.
