Nomination procedure
The Koiter Medal Committee consists of the five recent Koiter Medalists, the five members of the executive committee of the ASME International
Applied Mechanics Division (AMD), and the five recent past chairs of the AMD. Upon receiving recommendations from the international community of applied mechanics, the Committee nominates a single medalist every year. This nomination is subsequently approved by the ASME; no case has been reported that the ASME has ever overruled a nomination of the Koiter Medal Committee.Koiter Medal recipients
