EMI 2011 AWARDS CEREMONNY
Engineering Mechanics Institute 2011 Northeastern University, Boston, MA June 2-4, 2011
Mindlin MedalThe Raymond D. Mindlin Medal recognizes outstanding research contributions to applied solid mechanics. ASCE membership is not a requirement
Leon M. Keer, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE, NAE is awarded the 2011 Raymond D. Mindlin Medal, “for his outstanding contributions in research on the life prediction of materials in the vicinity of high stress concentrations and development of novel methods and solutions related to contact, fracture and wave propagation in solids.” Mindlin Medal Leon M. Keer

2010 ASCE Associate Editor AwardThe Associate Editor Award recognizes associate editors who have provided consistent and exemplary service to a particular journal or practice periodical or who have made a substantial unique contribution to the enhancement of ASCE’s publication activities.
George Z. Voyiadjis, D.Eng., F.ASCE, Louisiana State University,is presented with ASCE’s Associate Editor Award. His research focuses on the damage mechanics of metals, metal matrix composites, and ceramics, with emphasis on theoretical modeling, numerical simulation of material behavior, and experimental correlations. Voyiadjis has more than 220 peer-reviewed journal articles and 17 books to his credit. He served as an associate editor of ASCE’s Journal of Engineering Mechanics from 1997 to 1999 and has been serving in that capacity since 2005.
