ICACM Awards

(2018)

The ICACM Congress Award, for 1 person, is the highest award given by ICACM. It honors individuals who have made outstanding, sustained contributions in the field of computational mechanics generally over periods representing substantial portions of their professional careers. The medal is in recognition of the synergy between mathematics, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling of physical events that underpin much of the broad field of computational mechanics.

The ICACM Award, for 2 persons, is given in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the broad field of computational mechanics. These contributions shall generally be in the form of important research results, which significantly advance the understanding of theories and methods impacting computational mechanics, but special individual contributions in leadership and administration, industrial applications, and engineering analysis that advance computational mechanics shall also represent accomplishments worthy of recognition.

The ICACM Computational Mechanics Award, for 2 persons, will be given for contributions to traditional areas, such as computational structural mechanics and computational fluid dynamics, but may also be given to recognize contributions outside these specific areas. For example, the Award may be given in recognition of accomplishments in software development, and scientific computing. Research contributions in other areas not traditionally embraced by computational structural mechanics and fluid dynamics, such as computational electromagnetic, semi-conductor device simulation, and biomechanics, have general applicability to computational mechanics.

The ICACM Fellows Award, for 4 persons, recognizes individuals with a distinguished record of research, accomplishment and publication in areas of computational mechanics and demonstrated support of the ICACM through membership and participation in the Association, its meetings and activities.

The ICACM Young Investigator Award, for 5 persons, recognizes outstanding accomplishments, particularly outstanding published papers, by researchers at age of 40 or younger. Eligibility requires that the nominee not turn 41 in the year the award is presented. For the Conference in Nanjing, this means to have 40 year or less on December 31, 2018.

In order to let more scholars get rewards, only one award can be received by a winner at the same time. One cannot be considered for an award, if he/she has received the same award in the previous years.
