AWARDS

# 2023 - Hetényi Award for Best Research Paper Experimental Mechanics---Alexander Landauer

## 2023 Hetényi Award for Best Research Paper in Experimental Mechanics 

The Hetényi Award was established in 1967 for the best research paper published in Experimental Mechanics. It was named in honor of Dr. Miklos Hetényi. The paper was “...selected by the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Honors Committee from among a group of outstanding papers nominated for this award by the Experimental Mechanics Editorial Board” who made note of “the quality and thoroughness of the approach that [the authors] took to this highly challenging problem”. The award was issued May 2, 2023, and will be formally presented at the 2023 SEM Annual Meeting on June 7, 2023.

*Experimental Mechanics* publishes papers that address experiments and experimental systems, including theory and computational aspects, to characterize materials and material systems that push the boundaries of experimental mechanics. Alexander Landauer of the Materials Measurement Science Division Security Technologies Group and collaborators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Brown University recently published a new microscopy-based technique to measure volumetric displacement and strain at impact-like strain rates. This work pushed the temporal boundaries of volumetric mechanics measurements in the soft material microscopy application space by at least a factor of 5 over previously published work and included rigorous synthetic and experimental validations. The paper is titled "High-Speed, 3D Volumetric Displacement and Strain Mapping in Soft Materials Using Light Field Microscopy" and appeared on the cover of the November issue of *Experimental Mechanics*. The paper was co-first authored by Selda Buyukozturk (Brown University) and Alex and the project was co-lead by Alex and Christian Franck (UW-Madison).
