Haythornthwaite Foundation/Applied Mechanics Division - 2013 Student Travel Awards
The ASME Applied Mechanics Division Executive Committee continues to seek ways to involve and encourage younger members and particularly graduate students in the activities of the AMD Division. Through the generous annual support of The Robert M. and Mary Haythornthwaite Foundation 10 travel grants were awarded in 2013. These travel grants are offered to U.S. graduate students currently enrolled at U.S. universities or colleges presenting a paper in any field of applied mechanics. The winners were:
Sahab Babaee: Harvard University, School of Engineering & Applied Sciences –
Exploiting instabilities to design 3D soft metamaterials
Qiming Wang: Duke University, Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Sciences –
Instabilities in compressed film-substrate systems: wrinkling, creasing, delaminated buckling and advanced modes
Xin Yan: University of Houston, Department of Mechanical Engineering –
Atomistic characterization of Li-Si alloys at experimental strain rates
Changjin Huang: Pennsylvania State University, Department of Engineering Science & Mechanics –
