DURABILITY PRIZE
Engineering Integrity Society

The Durability Prize is awarded for the best presentation given by an engineer up to the age of 25 on the date of submission. Awards were made at the International Conference, Fatigue 2007 held at Queens' College, Cambridge in March 2007.

The prize for best paper by a young engineer was so closely contested that it was divided and presented to:

Dr Karen Perkins, Swansea University
"Corrosion fatigue in a 12% chromium steel through the effects of aqueous salt environments "

and

Toshio Osada, Japan
"High temperature fatigue strength of heavily machined and crack-healed alumina"

2003 Winners

Stuart Hambling (Winner)
"The influence of steel strength and loading mode on the fatigue properties of resistance spot welded H-beam components"

and

Rachel Edwards (Runner-up)
"Introducing fretting fatigue to the fatigue damage map".
