U.S. National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

摘要美国国家理论与应用力学委员会代表美国国家科学院参加国际理论与应用力学联合会（IUTAM），代表美国力学界。 该委员会是在力学领域有共同利益的美国工程、科学和应用数学界的焦点。 它是定义力学研究、技术和教育重大问题的唯一全国性论坛。 其全国性活动包括： 监督全国理论与应用力学大会；力学研究方向概述；通过其网站及其作为委员会 15 个成员协会代表的成员与更广泛的机械界进行沟通。 在国际上，该委员会在 IUTAM 大会和研讨会的规划中发挥着积极作用，并通过其大会奖学金计划和鼓励研讨会提案支持美国参与这些活动。

AbstractThe U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics represents the U.S. mechanics community to the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences. The committee serves as the focal point for the U.S. engineering, scientific, and applied mathematics communities that have common interests in the field of mechanics. It is the sole national forum to define the major issues in mechanics research, technology, and education. Among its national activities are: oversight of the National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics; overviews in research directions in mechanics; and communication with the broader mechanics community via its website and its members who serve as representatives of the committee's 15 member societies. Internationally, the committee plays an active role in the planning of the IUTAM congress and symposia and supporting U.S. involvement in these activities through its congress fellowship program and its encouragement of symposia proposals.
