:: UCT Awarded 2006 Peterson Award for Mill DEM Paper

It is with pride and pleasure that we convey the news that a paper published by Indresan Govender, Andrew McBride, and Malcolm Powell has been awarded the 2006 Peterson Award for The Best Applications Paper published over a two year period in the Journal of Experimental Mechanics. The award is bestowed by the Society of Experimental Mechanics, based in the USA, and we have been invited to receive the award at their next congress. This is a world-wide society, and leading international journal, and the award was instigated in 1970 with a number of distinguished scientists having received it in the past.

To quote from the letter: "The selection of your paper is a well-deserved public recognition by your professional peers of the quality and thoroughness of the approach you took to this highly challenging problem."

Paper title "Improved experimental tracking techniques for validating discrete element method simulations of tumbling mills", Journal of Experimental Mechanics, vol44, no5, pp.593-607.
