SEM Fellow

In 1975, the Honors Committee recommended a bylaws change which enabled a Fellow grade of membership to be established. The recommendation, which was approved, changed Article IV, Section 3 to read: “A Fellow shall be an individual who has distinguished himself/herself in some field in which the Society has interest, who has been a member of the Society for at least ten consecutive years, and whose contributions to the Society and the technical community have justified this honor. The number and manner of election of Fellows shall be as specified by the Executive Committee.

 

2025 Fellow Awards

In recognition of distinguished contributions to the field of experimental mechanics, and service to that field through the Society.
