Awards and Prizes
ECF-14 conferences of ESIS
Professor André Pineau, Chairman of the Awards Committee, was pleased to announce that his tasks were satisfactorily
completed following lengthy discussions with his committee members, and that Awards, Medals and Certificates would be
presented at the Closing Ceremony of ECF14 on Friday.
Additionally, several Certificates had been prepared for presentation to authors who had submitted high-quality publications
in the ESIS-sponsored international journal: "Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures" (FFEMS).
These certificates would be given to the winners by Professor Ian Howard, who is an Editor of the FFEMS journal.
An announcement will be made in a future issue of the journal.
The ESIS Medals and Awards for 2002 were as follows:
THE GRIFFITH MEDAL & CERTIFICATE - Professor Wolfgang Brocks
for his outstanding research work in the field of deformation and fracture of metals and
in the numerical modeling of ductile an brittle fracture.
THE WÖHLER MEDAL & CERTIFICATE - Professor Michael W Brown
for all his outstanding contributions to the understanding of fatigue behavior,
especially those devoted to multiaxial loading.
AWARD OF MERIT - Professor Dietrich Munz
for his outstanding contributions in the field of fatigue and fracture materials and structures,
and for his work devoted to the development of the European Structural Integrity Society.
HONORARY MEMBERSHIP - Professor Viggo Tvergaard
for his outstanding contributions in the numerical modeling of fatigue, creep and fracture behavior of materials
and for the development of related researches in Europe.
Professor André Pineau then announced that he was to retire from the Chairmanship of this Committee which he had served for many years.
Soon after these announcements, Professor Pineau had to leave the meeting, but it should be noted that all Council Members wished to sincerely
thank him for his endeavours during his term of office.
