D.R. HARTING AWARD
(formerly
the Experimental Techniques "Outstanding Paper" Award)
|
|
Darrell R. Harting, a 37-year SEM member and one of Experimental
Techniques founders, passed away in 1996. In recognition of his
considerable contributions to SEM as a member, as its President in 1977-1978,
as Fellow in 1983, and as an early proponent of Experimental Techniques,
the SEM Honors Committee recommended, and the Executive Board approved, that
the E/T Outstanding Paper Award be renamed the D.R. Harting Award.
|
|
This award was formally established in 1987 by the
Executive Board. However, the award was first presented in 1981, when Experimental
Techniques started publication on a regular basis. The award, consisting
of a plaque, is presented at SEM's Spring Conference. Candidates are
nominated by E/T reviewers who cite papers they consider worthy of
"Outstanding Paper" status. In January of the year, the E/T Senior
Technical Editor prepares a list of nominated papers. Subsequently, all
pertinent information is submitted to the Honors Committee for the final
selection.

2007 D.R. Harting Award: K. Xia, A.J. Rosakis and H. Kanamori
K. Xia, A.J. Rosakis, and H. Kanamori, “Supershear and Sub-Rayleigh to Supershear Transition Observed in Laboratory Earthquake Experiments”, Experimental Techniques, Vol.29, No. 3, pp. 63-66, 2005.
Kaiwen Xia is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Toronto. He received his BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, MS in Geophysics and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Geophysics from the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Xia’s current research activity includes laboratory earthquakes, dynamic fractures, dynamic friction, impact damage, deformation monitoring of mines and lithosphere. He is a member of the Lassonde Institute at the University of Toronto, whose research focus is Engineering Geoscience.
Ares J. Rosakis is the Theodore von Kármán Professor of Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories (GALCIT) at the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Rosakis received his bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering science from Oxford University. He went on to earn his Sc.M. and Ph.D. degrees in solid mechanics from Brown University. He is the author of more than 260 works on quasi-static and dynamic failure of metals, composites, and interfaces with emphasis on dynamic fracture and dynamic localization. Recent interests include dynamic fragmentation; shear dominated intersonic rupture of inhomogeneous solids, rupture mechanics of crustal earthquakes, shielding of spacecraft from hypervelocity micrometeoroid impact threats, and reliability of thin films. His awards include the SEM 2005 Murray Medal, IBM Faculty Development Award; NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award; Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize from SPIE; Hetenyi, Lazan, and Frocht awards from SEM; Excellence in Teaching Award from the Caltech Graduate Student Council. He is a past Chairman of the Fracture & Failure Mechanics Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division, a Fellow of the ASME and the New York Academy of Sciences.
Hiroo Kanamori was born in 1936, in Tokyo Japan, received PhD in Geophysics from Tokyo University in 1964, was Professor of Geophysics at the California Institute of Technology from 1972 to 2005, and is John E. and Hazel S. Smits Professor of Geophysics Emeritus. His work includes: (1) quantification and physics of great earthquakes, (2) quantitative study of tsunami earthquakes, (3) seismological study of volcanic eruptions, (4) real-time seismology for hazard mitigation, (5) study of atmospheric waves excited by volcanic eruptions, (6) study of interaction between solid earth and atmosphere, (7) synthesis of microscopic and macroscopic physics of earthquakes.
