The Congress Medal (Gauss-Newton Medal) is the highest award given by IACM. It honors individuals who have made outstanding, sustained contributions in the field of computational mechanics over periods representing substantial portions of their professional careers.
The Award is called Gauss-Newton in recognition of the synergy between mathematics, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling of physical events that underpin much of the broad field of computational mechanics
The IKM warmly congratulates Prof. Wriggers on receiving the IACM Gauss-Newton Medal.
