Melvin Mooney Award.Daniel L. Hertz hertz (hûrts) [for Heinrich R. Hertz], abbr. Hz, unit of frequency, equal to 1 cycle per second. The term is combined with metric prefixes to denote multiple units such as the kilohertz (1,000 Hz), megahertz (1,000,000 Hz), and gigahertz , Jr., president of Seals Eastern, is the 2007 Melvin Mooney Melvin Mooney (1893-1968) was an American physicist. He developed the Mooney Viscometer and other testing equipment used in the rubber industry. He also proposed the Mooney-Rivlin solid constitutive law describing the hyperelastic stress-strain behavior of rubber. Distinguished Technology Award winner. The award, sponsored by Chemtura, honors a Rubber Division member or affiliate member who has exhibited exceptional technical competency by making significant and repeated contributions to rubber science and technology. Hertz was educated at Stevens Institute of Technology Stevens is known for its rigorous engineering, science, and technological management curricula. Among the prominent research centers of Stevens is the Davidson Laboratory, Wireless Network Security Center, Keck Geotechnical Laboratory, Plasma Physics Laboratory, Nicoll Environmental and has authored over 60 articles on elastomers, seals, sealing concepts and seal environments. He is an expert in engineering design of rubber and sealing technology and holds five patents in this area, with two pending. Hertz is the founder and president of Seals Eastern, a designer and producer of precision molded sealing devices primarily for the oil and gas, heavy-duty diesel engine and general fluid control industries. His knowledge on seals and fluoroelastomers was utilized by the National Research Council panel on redesign of the space shuttle space shuttle, reusable U.S. space vehicle. Developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it consists of a winged orbiter, two solid-rocket boosters, and an external tank. after the o-ring failure. He was also featured in the MacNeil/ Lehrer News Hour, in a major segment on the Challenger seal failure. Hertz has been active in the Rubber Division serving in many capacities including treasurer, area director, and in 1996 was elected chairman of the Rubber Division. The Rubber Division honored him with the Distinguished Service Award in 2000. Hertz has received Best Paper Awards from the ACS (Asynchronous Communications Server) See network access server. Rubber Division (1989) and the Polyurethane polyurethane Any of a class of very versatile polymers that are made into flexible and rigid foams, fibres, elastomers (elastic polymers), surface coatings, and adhesives. Manufacturers Association (1988). (RW+) |
