Autorenporträt

Thomas J. Pence has taught at Michigan State University since 1986. His research in theoretical solid mechanics involves broad aspects of material modeling and structural stability, especially for soft highly deformable materials. A current focus is on the topic of nonlinear elastic and porous media as it relates to biological tissue growth and remodeling. Dr. Pence is active on the editorial boards of The Journal of Elasticity, The International Journal of Solids and Structures, and The Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures. He currently serves on the US National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and was the organizer of the 2014 US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
