Walter J. and Angeline H. Crichlow Trust Prize

The Walter J. and Angeline H. Crichlow Trust Prize was established in 1994 and is presented to a single nominee (which can be an individual or small team of up to 4 contributing individuals) in aerospace materials, structural design, structural analysis, or structural dynamics for a specific achievement or body of work (perhaps extending over a period of years) that became significant during the immediate past 15 years.

Nominations should include any one or more of the following: environment and loads definition, utilization of advanced materials and fabrication processes, innovative structural configurations, determination of structural integrity by analysis and test, advanced mathematics and/or computer programming of general and advanced usage, weight-reliability-life cycle considerations, or adaptive structures.

The Prize is presented every four years generally at the AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition (AIAA SciTech Forum). The Crichlow Prize award will be presented at the AIAA SciTech Forum in January 2027.
