TC12/ESIS 2019 awards During the year 2019, the TC12/ESIS technical committee decided to create three awards (refer to Correia et al. (2019)): Robert Moskovic Award; Award of Merit TC12; and ESIS/TC12 Young Scientist Award. Each year, the ESIS/TC12 technical committee will attribute these awards during associated ESIS events. During the IRAS 2019, the Robert Moskovic Award was attributed to the following researchers in recognition of their outstanding contributions: - Prof. Hojjat Adeli, University of Ohio, USA, for contributions in the Computational Intelligence and Smart Structures field (Figure 3a)); - Prof. Alfonso Carlos Fernández-Canteli, University of Oviedo, Spain, for contributions in the Unified Probabilistic Fatigue Methodology field (Figure 3b)); and, - Prof. Aleksandar Sedmak, University of Belgrade, Serbia, for contributions in the Structural Integrity and Failure Analysis field (Figure 3c)). The Award of Merit TC12 was attributed to the following researchers in recognition of their contributions to IRAS 2019 event as well as for the ESIS-TC12 technical committee: - Dr. Grzegorz Lesiuk, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland (Figure 4a)); - Dr. Dianyin Hu, Beihang University, China (Figure 4b)); - Dr. Pedro Montenegro, University of Porto, Portugal (Figure 4c)); and, - Dr. Shun-Peng Zhu, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China (Figure 4d)). The ESIS/TC12 Young Scientist Award was attributed to the following young researchers in recognition of their scientific works (see Table 1) presented in the IRAS 2019 event: - Kodai Matsuoka, Railway Technical Research Institute, Japan (Figure 5a)); - Rita Dantas, University of Porto, Portugal (Figure 5b)); - Teresa Magoga, University of Tasmania, Australia (Figure 5c)); - Vítor Gomes, University of Porto, Portugal (Figure 5d)); and, - Yaroslav Dubyk, IPP-Centre Ltd. and National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ukraine (Figure 5e)).
