    Prof. Shi Changxu is regarded as a pioneer in the field of supper-alloys in . He led the development of the first generation of cast hollow turbine blades. Shi presided over the creation of a national science and technology development planning for the country concerning metallurgical material, material science, and other new materials. He has served as a researcher and honorary director of the and was a specially invited advisor of the National Natural Science Fund Committee. He was also vice-president of the China Academy of Engineering and was elected as an academician to that academy in 1994. The following year in 1995, he became an academician of the Third World Academy of Science.

    Prof. Zhuang-Qi Hu, born in Shanghai on 31 Aug. 1929, graduated in the Department of Chemistry, University of Shanghai in 1952, professor of the Institute of Metal Research, Academia Sinica and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He is also a member of the Asian Pacific Academy of Materials. He was a visiting scientist in MIT, head of the Department of Superalloys and Special Casting, director of the State Key Laboratory of Rapidly Solidified Nonequilibrium Alloys and chairman of the Academic Committee of the Institute of Metal Research, Academia Sinica.
    Prof. Hu is now the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Materials Science and Technology, board member of the Chinese Society of Materials Research. He is honorary professor of Northeast University and concurrent professor of nine famous universities in China.
    He is emphasized to study the nonequilibrium solidification, directional solidification under lateral constraint and rapid solidification processings, solute redistribution and phase precipitation, heat flow and solute trapping during rapid solidification, and develop new materials with novel properties, including superalloys, directionally solidified and single crystals, intermetallic compounds and nonequilibrium alloys.
    He is one of the leaders in high temperature new materials research field in our country. He got 14 awards for his significant achievements in science and technology. for example ¡°Development of air cooled blades for jet engine¡± ?first prize of National Award of Scientific and Technological Progress, ¡°Ultrasonic atomization process for producing microcrystalline alloy powders¡±¡ªsecond prize of National Award of Scientific and Technological Progress, ¡°Formation, microstructure and properties of nanostructured materials¡± ¨Cthird prize of National Award of Natural Science, etc. He wrote and translated a total of ten books and published 473 papers in foreign journals and 452 papers in Chinese periodicals. He has cultivated 78 doctors and 22 graduate students for master degree, as well as 16 postdoctors. He won the title of Liaoning provincial model worker and provincial outstanding scientist having achievements in science and technology.

     Prof.Wang Zhongguang, a specialist on fatigue of materials, was born in April, 1936, in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. He majored in metallic materials and graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University in 1959. And then he joined the Institute of Metal Research(IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). He is now a full professor and Ph. D. academic advisor of IMR. He is currently a board member of the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science and Chairman of Fatigue Society under the Materials Research Society of China(C-MRS). He is also a member of the International Committee of Fatigue. In the years of 1999-2002, he was appointed the associate editor of the international journals Acta Materialia and Scripta Materialia. He is now an editorial advisory board member of the International Journal of Fatigue as well as the editorial board member of the Chinese journals ¡°Acta Metallurgica Sinica¡± and ¡°Journal of Aeronautical Materials¡±.

    Professor Wang Zhongguang has mainly devoted himself to the basic research on fatigue of materials. He investigated the basic processes in aluminum and its alloys under fatigue loading by measuring the energy dissipation. He found that the localization of deformation taking place in the specimen resulted in an extra energy dissipation. He established the experimental relationship between fatigue crack propagation threshold and fractal dimension of the fracture surface. This result provided a clear evidence for the nonuniversal nature of roughness index of the fracture surface. Since the middle of 90¡és, he and his co-worker systematically investigated the effects of crystallographic orientation and grain boundary on cyclic deformation and fatigue damage by using double, multiple slip oriented copper single crystals as well as copper bicrystals and tricrystals. Cooperated with others, he also investigated the fatigue behavior and mechanisms of rotor steels, stainless steels, dual-phase steels, metal matrix composites and intermetallic compounds. He has authored or co-authored over 200 SCI papers and received numerous academic awards, including one third-class and one fourth-class national prize in natural science, five second-class CAS prizes in natural science and one second-class natural science prize awarded by Liaoning Province. He is also the awardee of the HLHL foundation prize for scientific and technological progress.

    The State Key Laboratory for Fatigue and Fracture of Materials led by him during the years of 1988-1997 was highly ranked in three national evaluations and awarded with a Golden Ox Medal. Professor Wang Zhongguang was a member of the International Committee of Strength of Materials from 1991 to 2000. He was also the co-chairman of the 7th International Congress on Fatigue and the co-chairman of the 2nd International Symposium on Designing, Processing and Properties of Advanced Engineering Materials.

    Professor Wang Zhongguang has supervised 26 master degree students and 23 Ph. D. students since 1984, five of them received the CAS President Prizes for excellent students. The thesis of one Ph.D. student of him was selected as one of the 100 excellent Ph. D. thesises in 2000 in China after a nation-wide evaluation. He himself was awarded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the title of ¡°Excellent Academic Advisor¡± in 1990, 1993 and 1996, respectively.
