The two awards will be presented at the 11th ASME International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics and Control, which will be held as part of the ASME 2015 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences in Boston from Aug. 3 to 5, 2015. Established in 2005, the dAlembert Award recognizes lifelong contributions to the field of multibody ordnungsprinzip dynamics. Previous recipients include Profs. Thomas R. Kane, Werner Schiehlen, Edward Haug, Javier Garca de Jaln de la Fuente, and Ahmed Shabana. The Lyapunov Award, which was launched in 2005, recognizes lifelong contributions to the field of nonlinea r dynamics. Previous recipients include Profs. Ali H. Nayfeh, Francis C. Moon, Philip Holmes, Earl H. Dowell, and J. Michael T. Thompson. Nominations should include a nomination letter signed or co-signed by a TC-MSND member describing the field of the nominee and his or her impact a curriculum vitae and up to five letters of support.
