ABSTRACTThe Ninth Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM IX) will be held January 2-6, 2006, in Merida, Mexico. The Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) will be the host institution for this biennial conference. Past meetings have provided outstanding venues for enhancing communication among the engineering scholarly communities of the Americas. For PACAM IX, the proximity of Mexico to the U.S. mainland will enable relatively inexpensive travel for U.S. participants, but will threaten Latin American participation. Therefore, the requested NSF support to subsidize attendance by scholars from outside the U.S. is critical. The consensus is that PACAM IX will foster, in the spirit of NAFTA, hemispheric cooperation and enhance the appropriate hemispheric leadership role of the U.S. in engineering and specifically, applied mechanics. Dissemination of research presented at the meeting will be through a proceedings publication and selected papers published in a special issue of the International Journal of Solids and Structures.

第九届泛美应用力学大会将于2006年1月2-6日在墨西哥梅里达举行。墨西哥国家自治大学(UNAM)将是这一两年一度的会议的主办机构。过去的会议为加强美洲工程学学术界之间的交流提供了出色的场所。对于PACAM IX来说，墨西哥靠近美国大陆将使美国参与者的旅行成本相对较低，但会威胁到拉丁美洲的参与。因此，请求美国国家科学基金会提供支持，以资助来自美国以外的学者的出席是至关重要的。共识是，PACAM IX将本着北美自由贸易协定的精神，促进半球合作，并加强美国在工程领域，特别是应用力学领域的适当半球领导角色。将通过在《国际固体和结构杂志》特刊上发表的会议记录、出版物和选定的论文来传播会议上提出的研究成果。
