Call for The D'Alembert Award for Multibody System Dynamics and The Lyapunov Award for Nonlinear Dynamics

Abstract

The Technical Committee on Multibody Systems and Nonlinear Dynamics (MSND-TC) of the ASME Design Engineering Division solicits nominations for the D'Alembert Award and the Lyapunov Award. These awards will be presented at the 6th ASME International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics and Control, as part of the ASME 2007 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, September, 2007.The D'Alembert Award is established to recognize lifelong contributions to the field of multibody system dynamics.The Lyapunov Award is established to recognize lifelong contributions to the field of nonlinear dynamics.These awards recognize lifelong impact of research contributions, education and training of researchers and/or practitioners, and overall leadership in advancing the field. Nominations should include (1) a nomination letter describing the field of, and the impact of, the nominee, (2) a curriculum vitae, and (3) up to five letters of support. All nomination materials must be submitted in electronic (pdf) format.Submit nomination materials beforeJuly 1, 2006to either one of the Co-Chairs of the Awards Subcommittee.Professor Olivier A.
