Young Huang will receive the Melville Medal at the Winter Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in November. He and co-authors Peng Zhang of the University of Connecticut, Huajian Gao of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Germany, and K. C. Hwang of Tsinghua University in China were honored for their paper "Fracture nucleation in single-wall carbon nanotubes under tension: A continuum analysis incorporating interatomic potentials," which appeared in Journal of Applied Mechanics. The Melville Medal is ASME's highest honor for the best original paper published in the two years prior to the year of the award.
