Dr. Youngdae Shim (advisor: Professor Eunho Lee) was awarded the Outstanding Dissertation Award by the Materials and Fracture Division of the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME) in recognition of the excellence of his doctoral dissertation, published in 2024.
The award-winning dissertation, titled “A Study on Real-Time Prediction of Mechanical Properties Based on Electromagnetic-Mechanical Coupled Response Characteristics for Hairpin Motor Fabrication,” explores methods for predicting the yield strength of metallic materials using electromagnetic sensors. The research combines continuum mechanics modeling that accounts for electromagnetic-mechanical coupling and micro-scale crystal plasticity simulations.

Through this study, an algorithm was developed to predict mechanical yield strength from the impedance values of electromagnetic sensors, using micro-scale material properties. The research was supported by Hyundai MOBIS, and the developed system has been successfully transferred and applied to actual electric motor production lines.
Building on this achievement, Dr. Shim is currently continuing his research as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States.
