QuakeCoRE OpenSees Student Innovation Prizes
We are pleased to announce the call for submissions to the first annual QuakeCoRE OpenSees Student Innovation Prize Competition. Two $500 prizes will be awarded at the 2016 QuakeCoRE Annual Meeting recognizing significant earthquake engineering research that has been undertaken using the OpenSees finite element analysis platform.
Submissions will be accepted at the same time as abstracts for the QuakeCoRE Annual Meeting. Potential submission content includes, but is not limited to: (1) large, complex, and computationally intensive applications of OpenSees that involve innovative applications of modeling tools; (2) implementation of new constitutive models, elements, solvers, or other computational tools into the OpenSees framework; (3) community contributions such as the development of pre- and post-processing tools beneficial for general analysis or comprehensive example analyses that explain in detail how to model specific useful structural and geotechnical problems.
Please register your interest to submit to christopher.mcgann@canterbury.ac.nz prior to 5 August 2016. Submissions will take the form of a research poster that explains the overall research project associated with the OpenSees development/application including some discussion on the particular OpenSees usage/development in the work. Those who are presenting a poster at the annual meeting can use this as their submission. For those who are not presenting a poster at the meeting, please prepare your poster and submit to christopher.mcgann@canterbury.ac.nz prior to 31 August 2016. Posters shall be A0 landscape format. The winning submissions will best fit the judging criteria of “significant and/or practically-useful contribution to earthquake engineering analysis using OpenSees”. Enquiries can be directed to christopher.mcgann@canterbury.ac.nz
