> McDowell Receives Khan International Medal in Plasticity
The George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering is pleased to announce that David L. McDowell, Carter N. Paden Jr. Distinguished Chair in Metals Processing and Regents’ Professor, received the Khan International Medal for contributions over the past 20 years to the field of plasticity at the 14th International Symposium on Plasticity and Its Current Applications. He delivered the plenary lecture at the symposium titled, “A Perspective on Trends in Multiscale Plasticity.” McDowell is just the third recipient of this award, selected by an international committee comprised of members of the editorial board of the International Journal of Plasticity, the leading impact archival journal in the subject. A mini-symposium will be organized in his honor at a future international symposium on plasticity as well as a special issue of the Journal.
Professor McDowell, a former president of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), was elected a Fellow of the Society in 2006. He is one of only 34 SES Fellows elected since the group’s formation in 1976. In addition, he was named Co-Editor, Americas of the International Journal of Fatigue in December 2007, a leading journal on the subject of fatigue of engineering materials. McDowell holds a joint appointment in the School of Materials Science and Engineering.
