DEARBORN, Mich., April 12, 2006 -Today the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and the North American Manufacturing Research Institute (NAMRI/SME) announced three winners of the of the prestigious NAMRI/SME S. M. Wu Research Implementation Award.



The award recognizes individuals for outstanding original research presented at the North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) that subsequently upon implementation had a significant commercial and/or societal impact. The award is named in honor of the late Professor S. M. Wu, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. "Professor Wu was highly respected for his problem-solving research in manufacturing and his dedicated work with students throughout his lifetime so, it is nice to see that he has been recognized by the NAMRI/SME Board," said Richard DeVor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a former student of S. M. Wu.



The three recipients of the NAMRI/SME S. M. Wu Research Implementation Award are recognized for developing concepts and methods related to the finite element modeling of forming problems that was later commercialized into a Finite Element Method (FEM) package known as DEFORM. The three recipients are:



*Taylan Altan (The Ohio State University)

*Goverdhan D. Lahoti(The Timken Company)

*Soo Ik Oh (Seoul National University)



Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation (SFTC) was incorporated in Ohio in August 1991 by former Battelle employees to provide state-of-the-art process design and analysis technologies to the materials forming industry. SFTC acquired from Battelle the DEFORM business in October 1991, and is currently supporting hundreds of user sites worldwide. DEFORM is the one of the most widely used FEM software for metal forming and die analysis by the industry. While at Battelle, SFTC principals developed the DEFORM and ALPID programs. The ALPID program, developed under the funding support from U.S. Air Force, is regarded as the first practical FEM-based analysis tool for metal forming applications.



The original research of Drs. T. Altan, G. D. Lahoti, and S. I. Oh and their subsequent efforts aimed at extending and refining this work and then participating in the transfer of this technology into the world of commercial application is a classic success story that embodies all of the attributes sought by the framers of the S. M. Wu Research Implementation Award.
