Robert McMeeking, professor of mechanical engineering and also of materials at UC Santa Barbara, has received the Timoshenko Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. It is the highest applied mechanics honor the society bestows.

McMeeking was recognized for his “pioneering contributions to broad areas of applied mechanics including nonlinear fracture mechanics, transformation toughening, mechanics of composites, powder consolidation, and ferroelectric fracture and constitutive modeling.” The medal is awarded annually as a result of the recommendations from the international community of applied mechanicians.
