By present- ing these individuals with tokens of excellence, the Society brings the character and importance of the engineer’s work to the attention of the public. Accordingly, it is one of the major purposes of the Society to recognize engineering excellence through the Honors and Awards Program and to provide the forum for their exposition. Society honors and awards recognize a wide variety of accomplish- ments. Some awards are based on contributions to engineering liter- ature; others recognize general achievements in the advancement of engineering. Some are awarded for outstanding accomplishments by a young engineer beginning a career, others for distinguished service throughout a lifetime. Still others recognize contributions by outstanding Student Members. Honors and Award are bestowed by authority of the Board of Gover- nors, and certificates are signed by the President and Executive Director. The Honors and Awards Program is funded through the ASME Foundation by individual awards and endowment funds, not through member dues. The pages that follow describe all society honors and awards presented in 2014 and give information about the recipients. Many awards were presented at the Society’s meetings and conferences throughout the year, and others will be presented during the 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress, November 14–20, in Montreal, Canada.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1982 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. STEPHEN P. TIMOSHENKO December 23, 1878-May 29, 1972 BY C. RICHARD SODERBERG HE MAJOR FACTS of the life of Stephen P. Timoshenko Tare by now well known. He was born as Stepen Prokof- yevich Timoshenko* in the village of Shpotovka in the Ukraine on December 23,1878. Stephen's father, born a serf, had been brought up in the home of a landowner, who later married Stephen's aunt. His father subsequently received an education as a land surveyor and practiced this profession until he himself became a landowner of some means. Timoshenko's early life seems to have been a happy one, in pleasant rural surroundings. 'The concluding decades of the nineteenth century were a period of relative tranquility in Russia, and the educational ideals of the middle class were not much different from, and certainly not inferior to, those of their counterparts in Western Europe. He concluded his secondary education with a gold medal at the technical realschulet in Romny, near Kiev. His father had rented an NO~E: The Academy would like to express its gratitude to Dr. J. P.

  • A Tribute to Dr. Daniel C. Drucker 1918 - 2001
    SEM History Experimental Techniques November/December 2001, Vol. 25, No. 6 and January/February 2002, Vol. 26, No. 1 A TRIBUTE TO DR. DANIEL C. DRUCKER 1918 - 2001 SESA President 1960-61 Dan was a highly esteemed member of SESA/SEM and the recipient of more honors and awards than any other member in the history of SEM. His activity with the Society began with the Eastern Photoelastic Conferences which later became the SESA. For reasons which he couldn't remember he did not attend the first meeting of the new society, but soon joined it and was very active for many years. Dan was a member of the Executive Committee when the momentous decision was made for the Society to hire a headquarters staff and to initiate the monthly magazine Experimental Mechanics. Later he was the President when the new mode was made operational, and there were many difficult growing pains during the transition. I was on the Executive Committee at that time and got my first glimpse of his extraordinary ability to settle the sensitive problems without hurting anyone's feelings. Dan was the recipient of the Society's two highest honors, the Murray Lectureship and Honorary Member. He also received the M. M. Frocht Award. Dan continued his association with SEM, and in recent years was a speaker at the SEM 50th Anniversary Celebration, and served as a member of the SEM Educational Foundation and of the International Advisory Board for Experimental Mechanics. Dan Drucker was born in New York City and started his engineering career as a student at Columbia University.

    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.

Kochmann, Newsletter Editor ASME Applied Mechanics Division Newsletter 2018 Applied Mechanics Division 2017-2018 Executive Committee Balakumar Yonggang Huang Balachandran Program Chair Vice-Chair Pradeep Sharma Chair Yuri Bazilevs Pradeep Guduru Program Vice-Chair Secretary Message from the Chair The Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the ASME is a rather unique organization and arguably one of the most important entities that represents the interests of mechanicians worldwide. It was my privilege to serve on the AMD executive committee for the past five years. The experience was quite humbling as I became intimately aware of the breadth and depth of the contributions of our community and the passion that we bring to our chosen field. Together with the other members of the executive committee, we collectively tackled several difficult issues faced by the division. This was a unique learning experience and I would like to thank the members of the committee who provided outstanding mentorship and friendship during this period: Larry Bergman, Huajian Gao, Peter Wriggers, Arun Shukla, Bala Balachandran, Yonggang Huang, Yuri Bazilevs, and Pradeep Guduru. Both Dennis Kochmann and Pedro Reis served as re- cording secretary and, later, Dennis also took over the role of the AMD newsletter editor. Aside from performing an outstanding job on these important responsibilities, they proved to be a fountain of creative ideas on how the AMD should function effectively.

  • Report of the Chair
    Report of the Chair www.asme.org/divisions/amd SUMMER NEWS 2008 KENNETH M. LIECHTI, EDITOR Report of the Chair Timoshenko Medalist Awards & Medals Journal of Applied Mechanics News from the Technical Committees In Memoriam K. Ravi-Chandar It has been an honor and privilege for me to serve on the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD); the AMD is one of the oldest Technical Divisions in ASME, established eighty years ago by Timoshenko and colleagues. The experience of working closely with past members Pol Spanos, Mary Boyce, Wing-Kam Liu, and Tom Farris, as well as with current members Dan Inman, Zhigang Suo, Tayfun Tezduyar and Ares Rosakis during my five-year tenure on the Committee was extremely enjoyable and rewarding. The past year has been very eventful for the AMD and I hope to provide an update of the activities and status of the AMD in this newsletter. Reports of the Technical Committees, the Journal of Applied Mechanics and Applied Mechanics Reviews provide more specific details of these activities. The ASME has changed the structure of its annual Congresses, switching to a Track based system rather than the Technical Division based system of previous years; the 2007 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition was the first meeting under the new system. Under the new scheme, sessions were not pre-allocated to the Division, but were developed as a result of abstracts submitted to symposia organized by volunteers within the Technical Committees directly under the tracks. It also became difficult to determine the exact extent of AMD participation in the 2007 Congress.
