Emmanuel E. Gdoutos (Greek: Εμμανουήλ Ε. Γδούτος, born June 2, 1948) is a Greek academic, Professor Emeritus at the Democritus University of Thrace and Full Member of the Academy of Athens. He has worked in experimental mechanics, fracture mechanics, composite materials and sandwich structures. His main scientific accomplishments include the solution of many problems of crack growth under combination of opening-mode and sliding-mode loading which were published in his book: “Problems of Mixed-Mode Crack Propagation.” He is a member of many national academies, has received honorary diplomas and awards, and has presided over scientific societies worldwide.

Early life and career[edit]

Gdoutos was born on June 2, 1948 in Mytilene, Greece. He earned his Diploma in Civil Engineering in 1971 and his PhD in Applied Mechanics in 1973, both from the National Technical University of Athens. Gdoutos has been married to Maria Konsta-Gdoutos since 1984. Gdoutos and Maria Konsta-Gdoutos have two children, Eleftherios Gdoutos and Alexandra-Kalliopi Gdoutou.

Gdoutos is a Full Member of the Academy of Athens since 2016. He served as Professor, Director of the Laboratory of Applied Mechanics, and as Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering at the Democritus University of Thrace (1977-2015). Gdoutos has held numerous academic appointments internationally, serving as the Distinguished Clark Millikan Professor at the California Institute of Technology (2013-2016) and as Visiting Professor at Northwestern University, Lehigh University, the University of California, Davis, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Toledo.
