Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira is a Civil Engineer and currently is a
permanent professor in the Department of Constructions and Structures
of the Polytechnique School at Federal University of Bahia, in Brazil.
Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira has been working a lot in computational
mechanics and structural engineering. Dr. Bandeira has 17 years of
professional experience in research and instruction, design and
consulting. At the Federal University of Bahia, Dr. Bandeira has only 2
years and, in this short time, he has created and structured the Master
Degree of Structural Engineering, the only post-graduation in this area
in the state. The Federal University of Bahia is a centenary institute and
is the most important University in Northeast of Brazil. This year he is
teaching in this course and working with MS degrees students. Before
returns to his town, Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira has worked 15 years in
São Paulo, capital, a biggest city of South of America. He worked
almost 10 years in Mackenzie University, UNINOVE University and
worked as consultant in some companies of structural calculation. He
developed researches since 1995, in his master degree, doctorate and as
research professor at Mackenzie University. During this last 2 years he
developed his researches in Federal University of Bahia.
Dr. Bandeira’s research expertise and projects include Computational
Mechanics, Non-Linear Analysis, Finite Elements Methods, Elasticity,
Plasticity, Contact Mechanics, Impact problems, Non-Linear Dynamics,
Reinforced Concrete, Concrete Structures Reinforced with Carbon Fiber,
advanced computer modeling and simulations, and numerical
simulations technologies in structural pavements. He has developed and
conducted short courses and workshops in Brazil. He has made over 30
presentations in several countries, like Austria, Brazil, China, England,
Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland and USA.
Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira was founder member of iSMARTi –
international Society for Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Transport
infrastructure (2005), and participates in the first iSMARTi international
conference on sustainable transport infrastructure, sponsored by the
Chinese Academy of Transportation Sciences, in Beijing, China in April
2008, having presented two works. He has been a member of the
organizing committees of the 2005 International Symposium on
Pavement Recycling, realized in São Paulo in Brazil. He also has been a
chairman of the three editions of the International Conference of
Recovery, Maintenance and Restoration of buildings, realized in 2004
in São Paulo, 2006 in Rio de Janeiro and 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, all of
them in Brazil.
Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira knows Dr. Waheed Uddin since 2004.
Relevant Experience
Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira has made part of his doctorate in Germany and
Italy. In Germany he worked at the Institute of Civil and Mechanical
1
Engineering at the Hannover University. He developed researches in contact mechanics undergoing large
3D deformation with one of the most important researcher in this area in the World. He worked with the
professor Peter Wriggers. In Italy, he worked at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at the University
of Padua. He developed researches in micromechanical contact mechanics and wear. He studied the
microscopically behavior at the contact interface by numerical procedures. He works with the professors
Dr. Giorgio Zavarise and Dr. Bernhard A. Schrefler. In his PhD developed in Brazil, he worked with Dr.
Paulo de Mattos Pimenta at the University of São Paulo. He worked also in finite elements methods with
contact mechanics with friction.
Dr. Alex Alves Bandeira made several consulting in structures engineering for companies in São Paulo,
as SCAC Foundations and Structures Company and GTP Structural Engineering Company.
Publications and Presentations
Dr. Bandeira’s 70 publications include 1 Chapter, 3 papers in refereed journals, and 61 other conference
papers. He has edited one national conference proceedings. Dr. Bandeira has been an ad hoc evaluator of
refereed International Journal of Pavements since 2007. He contributed a chapter on Lecture Notes in
Applied and Computational Mechanics in Berlin-Germany, 2006.
