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.
The concept of Audio Conferencing using a phone line is not new.
Audio conferencing and its equipment have been around for many decades
at this point. The techniques are tried and true and it is the easiest
method of conferencing to use. Audio
conference is the use of conference calls for regular meetings and a
