Here's How You Described Us
A few months ago, TMS asked members a simple question: In one word, how would you describe TMS? While the number of different words we received covered a lot of territory, there were several recurring terms: connected, professional, influential. The kinds of solid, career-oriented words you would hope to hear from the members of a professional organization. But more personal terms regularly emerged, too: community, friendly, even family.
The overall results of the survey are summarized in the graphic accompanying this story—a word cloud that offers a snapshot of TMS membership built from our members’ words. TMS would like to thank all of the members who contributed to creating this image, which will be a useful tool for describing TMS membership to those outside of the organization.
If you are not a TMS member and would like to become a part of the TMS community, information on the various types of membership and how to apply for them can be found in the
Become a Member section of the TMS website.
If you are a TMS member, please note that dues renewals are now being accepted for 2018. When you renew your membership for the coming year, you can choose to renew for one, three, or five years. You can renew your membership at any time through the
Member Tools section of the TMS Access Member Benefits website. (Log in is required.)
We hope that you will continue to be a part of TMS’s connected, professional, and influential family of minerals, metals, and materials scientists and engineers for 2018 and beyond.
Propose a Nominee for the Hoover Medal
The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) Hoover board representatives are seeking suggested nominees from members of the four AIME Societies for the prestigious joint engineering society
Hoover Medal, administered by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Oladele Ogunseitan represents TMS on this year’s AIME Hoover Board, which is made up of representatives from TMS, as well as its sister AIME societies, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Established in 1929, the Hoover Medal recognizes great, unselfish, non-technical services by engineers to humanity. The award is named for former U.S. President and mining engineer Herbert Hoover, who received the first medal in 1930. Upon accepting the award, Hoover stated that the purpose of the medal is to mark the public service of those “who have gone outside of their strictly professional work to interest themselves in civic and humanitarian affairs; engineers have something to contribute to public service.”
Past recipients include former U.S. presidents, technological leaders, and well-known inventors.
View the complete list of past honorees through the ASME website.
Please e-mail suggested nominee names and rationale to AIME’s Executive Director,
Michele Lawrie-Munro, by Wednesday, October 4. Be sure to note that you are a TMS member. If the Board chooses to advance your nomination, the AIME representatives will need assistance in completing a
nomination packet for submission by February 15 to the administering engineering Founder Society, ASME.
Plenary Speakers Confirmed for ICSMA 18
Five leaders in the field have been announced as speakers in the
18th International Conference on the Strength of Materials (ICSMA 18) plenary session, including:
•
Dierke Raabe, EU, Max-Planck Institute
•
Easo George, USA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
•
Ke Lu, China, Institute of Metal Research
•
Erica Lilleodden, EU, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht
•
Kaneaki Tsuzaki, Japan, Kyushu University
ICSMA 18, scheduled for July 15–19, 2018, at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, builds on a 50-year tradition of providing an international venue for the latest advances in the strength of materials. The meeting will advance fundamental understanding of the processes that govern the strength of materials at different length and time scales, and it will forge links between basic studies and investigations of technologically important engineering materials. Visit the conference website for
more details on technical topics and to
submit your abstract before the November 30 deadline.
ICSMA 18 is organized by The Ohio State University and the organizing committee of the 18th International Conference on the Strength of Materials, with conference support services provided by TMS.
