First AAM 2008 Conference

On June 17-20, 2008 the Inaugural Conference of the American Academy of Mechanics will be hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following this conference this event will be hosted in the USA every four years to coincide with the ICTAM conference. This meeting will help the mechanics communities with applications in solids, fluids, bio, etc. to interact and set new challenging concepts and refinements in the existing areas of Mechanics.

This conference will be on all topics addressing mechanics of fluids, solids, biomechanics, macro-, micro- and nano-mechanics, etc. This addresses both Characterization and Assessment of Systems and will cover a broad spectrum of topics in solid and structural mechanics, materials, and fluid mechanics.

On behalf of the international organizing committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in this important inaugural conference. If you are interested in presenting work at this conference, please submit the abstracts electronically through the "Author Center" (see web site for details). If you would like to organize a mini-symposium in your area of research, please visit our web site and register the name of the symposium http://firstaam2008.lsu.edu.

I am looking forward to the exciting exchange of information that will come about through the congress of all major mechanics communities, and I am looking forward to meeting you in New Orleans in June 2008.

Best regards
