IIW Kenneth Easterling Best Paper Award

This IIW award, which is sponsored by the Institute of Materials Science, Joining and Forming of Graz University of Technology, will be presented for the sixth time.

The late Professor Dr. Kenneth Easterling (Sweden) acted as the first Chairman of working activities on Numerical Analysis of Weldability, which started within the IIW-Commission IX in 1990. From these activities, the working group Mathematical Modelling of Weld Phenomena in Commission IX emerged. This working group organised the first International Seminar Numerical Analysis of Weldability in 1991 at the Castle Seggau near Graz, Austria. Prof. Easterling was Co-chairman of this seminar. Since then, a bi-annually conference is organised by the Institute for Materials Science, Joing and Forming of the Graz University of Technology, Austria, co- sponsored by IIW Commission IX and taking place at the same venue.

The award is given to the paper “which is valued by an international committee as the best contribution made over the two years proceeding on the advancement of knowledge or practice in respect of mathematical modelling of weld phenomena“.
