Fluid and Solid Mechanics Prizes
Solid Mechanics Prize 
V. Tvergaard | "For his outstanding contributions to a broad spectrum of Solid Mechanics in particular for his fundamental research on stability of structures, plastic flow localization and shear bending, ductile fracture and creep rupture and for taking physically based analyses of ductile fracture from an academic discipline to an engineering design tool supported by computational methods" |
Fluid Mechanics Prize 
F. Busse | "For his many outstanding contributions to fluid mechanics, most notably in the areas of thermal convection and pattern forming instabilities, geophysical flows and magnetohydrodynamic dynamos, and mathematical bounds on turbulent transport".
|
Fluid Mechanics Prize 
E. Hopfinger | "For his seminal work in at least three major areas of fluid mechanics: Stratified flows, waves and gravity currents ; Rotating flows and vortex dynamics ; Turbulence, interfacial instabilities and atomization. For his scientific breadth and remarkable impact on several fundamental issues in the field, and last but not least for his distinguished service to the European Fluid Mechanics community".
|
Solid Mechanics Prize 
W. Schiehlen | "Prof. Werner Schiehlen has been awarded the EUROMECH Solid Mechanics Prize for his outstanding scientific contributions in a broad spectrum of Solid Mechanics; in particular for his work in Technical Dynamics, including Linear and Nonlinear Deterministic and Random Vibrations, Multibody System Dynamics in general, and Satellite as well as Vehicle Dynamics as special fields." |
Fluid Mechanics Prize 
K. Moffatt | "For his outstanding accomplishments and beautifully creative ideas in theoretical fluid mechanics which have had a lasting impact in the development of the field, in particular for his seminal contributions to the study of turbulence and magnetohydrodynamics with the identification of helicity as a key concept in the understanding of global flow features and the creation of the new field of topological fluid dynamics, for his equally impressive analyses of low Reynolds number flows with the introduction of the notions of Moffatt eddies in flows near a sharp corner and cusp singularities in free surface flows." |
Solid Mechanics Prize 
F. Ziegler | "For his outstanding contributions at the very frontier of research in a remarkably broad spectrum of solid mechanics; in particular for his work in wave propagation in layered and random media, vibrations of structures, and stochastic dynamic processes; furthermore for the impact of his research on multifield problems including interactions between thermal, piezoelectric and mechanical fields, as well as fluid-structure interaction problems, and for his ingenious and outstanding results of lasting importance in engineering mechanics, e.g., in earthquake engineering and geomechanics." |
