Sia Nemat-Nasser,
distinguished professor of mechanics and materials, will
receive the 2008 Timoshenko Medal of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers. It recognizes Sia for ‘fundamental
theoretical and experimental contributions in dynamic stability;
deformation and failure modes of materials; nano-electro-chemo-mechanical
characterization and modeling of ionic polymer metal composites;
and composites with tuned electromagnetic functionality,
self-healing and self-sensing.’ The medal will be
presented during the ASME 2008 International Mechanical
Congress and Exposition (IMECE), Oct 31-Nov 06, 2008, in
Boston, MA. |

 The
Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE awards Sia Nemat-Nasser,
distinguished professor of mechanics and materials, the
2008 Theodore von Karman Medal. The award recognizes Sia
for 'exceptional, distinguished and sustained contributions
in the fields of micromechanics, granular materials, constitutive
relations of materials, stability and dynamic behavior of
solids and structures, and experimental and analytical methods
in broad areas of engineering mechanics'. The medal was
presented during the Engineering Mechanics Institute's inaugural
International Conference, May 18-21, 2008, in Minneapolis,
MN.
