Filippo Berto (born 12 February 1978) is an Italian professor and engineer, who works on fracture and fatigue mechanics at the Sapienza University of Rome. He is the vice president of the European Structural Integrity Society.

Berto received the Order of the Star of Italy in 2021 and multiple awards from the European Structural Integrity Society. Berto has held significant international positions, including a chair at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and was a Distinguished Changjiang Chair Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2020 to 2023.

Biography

Filippo Berto was born 12 February 1978 in Vicenza, Italy.[1][2] In 2003, he obtained a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Padua. After that, he completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florence, in 2006.[citation needed]

He was professor of machine design at the University of Padua, Italy, between 2006 and 2015. Since 2022, Berto is a full professor and is a chair in the mechanics of materials at the Sapienza University of Rome.[3] Berto was an international chair in mechanics of materials, mechanical metallurgy, fracture mechanics, fatigue, and structural integrity at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology of Trondheim, Norway, from 2016 to 2022.[4]

Berto has been visiting professor at Stanford University where he has collaborated with the Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory.[4] He is also holding some honorary chair professorship at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Mandela Metropolitan University. In 2021, he was a Distinguished Changjiang Chair Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University through the Changjiang Scholars Program from 2020 to 2023.[citation needed]

Berto is also collaborating with the Centre of Excellence of additive manufacturing established in Auburn and in particular with Nima Shamsaei and Mohsen Seifi who is chair of additive manufacturing programs in ASTM. Berto is also voting member of ASTM F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies and ASTM E08 on Metal Fatigue and Fracture.[citation needed] He is chairman of the technical committee European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) TC15 on Structural Integrity of additive manufactured components of ESIS. From 2021 and 2022, Berto is vice-president of the ESIS.[5] He is also the vice president of the ESIS.[6]

In 2023, Berto won a £2.5 million research grant as part of the ERC Advanced Grant.[7]

Berto has a role in the Italian Group of Fracture being president since 2019 and co-editor-in-chief of the associated journal.[8] He is in the editorial board of several scientific journals in the area of fatigue, fracture and structural integrity, such as, Materials & Design,[9] Safety Science,[10] Materials Science and Engineering: A,[11] Advanced Engineering Materials,[12] Polymer Testing,[13] Strength of Materials,[14] among others.

As technical Chair of TC15 is also the founder of the series of European conferences on additive manufacturing ESIAM. He is also one of the founder of the ESIS TC18 on Structural Integrity of Welded Joints and treasurer of the same TC.[15]

Scholia has a profile for Filippo Berto (Q97574132).

Berto is in the list of 2% top scientist released by Stanford University.[16] In Europe, he is among the first twenty positions in the field of Mechanical Engineering and Transports and among the first 3 positions dealing with fracture and fatigue problems.[17] He is a top author in the last 5 years (2018–2022) in several topics such as (V-notches, Strain Energy Density, T-Stress) in Scopus,[18] where he is also among the first three top authors all-time in fatigue.[19][20]
