Erich Schmid (physicist)
Erich Schmid (4 May 1896, in Bruck an der Mur – 22 October 1983, in Vienna) was a physicist from Austria. He made important discoveries in the field of crystal plasticity. Schmid studied physics and mathematics at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in 1920 under the supervision of Felix Ehrenhaft. He then became the assistant of Ludwig Flamm. In 1951 he accepted a position at the University of Vienna and stayed there until retiring in 1967. One of his most successful contributions is the book "''Plasticity of Crystals: with special reference to metals''" ("''Kristallplastizität: Mit Besonderer Berücksichtigung der Metalle''") which he coauthored with Walter Boas. In 1960 the Austrian Academy of Sciences awarded him the Erwin Schrödinger Prize The Erwin Schrödinger Prize (German: Erwin Schrödinger-Preis) is an annual award presented by the Austrian Academy of Sciences for lifetime achievement by Austrians in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences. ...

Bruck An Der Mur
Bruck an der Mur is a city of some 13,500 people located in the district Bruck-Mürzzuschlag, in the Austrian state of Styria. It is located at the confluence of the Mur and Mürz Rivers. Its manufacturing includes metal products and paper. Bruck is located on the Graz to Vienna main line, and is an important regional rail junction. History The earliest surviving record of Bruck dates from the time of King Ludovicus II "Germanicus", when it was identified, in a record dated 20 November 860, as "ad pruccam", a manor of the archbishopric of Salzburg. The settlement then identified with this name was in the location currently occupied by the suburb now called "St. Ruprecht". The settlement then located at what is now the centre of Bruck is identified in the ninth century record as "muorica kimundi" (i.e. the mouth of the Mürz River). The town was refounded in 1263 by King Otakar II of Bohemia, who was responsible for surrounding Bruck with its city walls. Bruck received it ...

Erwin Schrödinger Prize
The Erwin Schrödinger Prize (German: Erwin Schrödinger-Preis) is an annual award presented by the Austrian Academy of Sciences for lifetime achievement by Austrians in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences. The prize was established in 1958, and was first awarded to its namesake, Erwin Schrödinger. Prize criteria and endowment The prize is awarded at the discretion of the Austrian Academy of Sciences to scholars resident in Austria for excellence and achievements in the mathematical and scientific disciplines in the broadest sense. The prize is not awarded to full members of the Academy. The award ceremony is held annually in October. The prize includes an annual stipend currently of € 15 000, paid monthly.

Schmid Factor
In materials science, Schmid's law (also Schmid factor, and or german: Schmid'scher Orientierungsfaktor, lit=Schmid's orientation factor, label=none.) describes the slip plane and the slip direction of a stressed material, which can resolve the most shear stress. Schmid's Law states that the critically resolved shear stress () is equal to the stress applied to the material () multiplied by the cosine of the angle with the vector normal to the glide plane () and the cosine of the angle with the glide direction (). Which can be expressed as: : \tau = m \sigma where is known as the Schmid factor :m = \cos(\phi) \cos(\lambda) Both factors and are measured in stress units, which is calculated the same way as pressure (force divided by area). and are angles. The factor is named after Erich Schmid who coauthored a book with Walter Boas introducing the concept in 1935.

Ring Of Honour Of The City Of Vienna
The Ring of Honour of the City of Vienna (german: Ehrenring der Stadt Wien) is a decoration awarded since 1925 to people who have made an outstanding contribution to the enhancement of the prestige of the city of Vienna through exceptional artistic or scientific achievements and found recognition beyond the borders of Austria. It is one of the highest distinctions of the city of Vienna. History The ring of honour was established by the Bürgermeister Karl Seitz, as confirmed by the Vienna City Constitution (''Wiener Stadtverfassung'') of 1968. It was first awarded in 1925, although strictly defined criteria for the award were not laid down."Irgendwelche Verfügungen, Verordnungen, Statuten, Stiftungsbestimmungen existieren nicht." (information from Petra Rama, Magistracy of the City of Vienna, Präsidialabteilung/Ehrenzeichenkanzlei, 27 May 2010, quoted by Gunter Stemmler: ''Der Ehrenring – eine junge Auszeichnung''.

At the same time, the National Council also established the "Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art", which is awarded as "Cross of Honour, First Class" (German: ''Ehrenkreuz 1. Klasse'') and "Cross of Honour" (German: ''Ehrenkreuz''). While not technically counted as lower classes of the Decoration for Science and Art, these crosses are nevertheless affiliated with it.

Wilhelm Exner Medal
The Wilhelm Exner Medal has been awarded by the Austrian Industry Association, (ÖGV), for excellence in research and science since 1921. The medal is dedicated to Wilhelm Exner (1840–1931), former president of the Association, who initialized the chamber of commerce in Austria, the Vienna Technical Museum and the World Exhibition in Vienna. According to Wilhelm Exner the combination of science and economy formed the groundwork for economical growth and wealth. Wilhelm Exner considered the radical changes in the economic and social framework of the 20th century to be an opportunity and aimed to tackle the issues arising offensively and constructively. He represented the cosmopolitan Austrian liberalism with a commitment to modernization and transformation of the economy, science and society. Throughout his career, he has taken a variety of key initiatives and has been involved by helping economy and business. The Wilhelm Exner Medal is awarded to scientists and researchers th ...
