About the Awards

Fellows Award: recognizes individuals with a distinguished record of research, accomplishment and publication in areas of computational mechanics and demonstrated support of the USACM through membership and participation in the Association, its meetings and activities.

Gallagher Young Investigator Award: recognizes outstanding accomplishments, particularly outstanding published papers, by researchers of 40 years or younger. The award consists of a silver medal and $1500, both donated by John Wiley & Sons, Publisher of the International Journal of Numerical Methods in Engineering, in honor of Richard H. Gallagher, co-founder of the Journal.

Computational Structural Mechanics Award: presented in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the broad field of computational solid mechanics.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Award: presented in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the broad field of computational fluid mechanics.

Computational and Applied Sciences Award: recognizes contributions to computational mechanics that fall outside the specific areas of CSM and CFD.

John von Neumann Medal: This is the highest award given by the USACM. It honors individuals who have made outstanding, sustained contributions in the field of computational mechanics generally over periods representing substantial portions of their professional careers.
