The U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM) represents the U.S. mechanics community to the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The national 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 national forum to define the major issues in mechanics research, technology, and education. It also provides a network through which the National Science Foundation(NSF) and the National Academies enhance their capacity to contribute to global research, technology and education.The committee has both national and international impact. Nationally, it oversees the organization of the quadrennial National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (NCTAM); steer research directions in mechanics; and connects with the broader mechanics community through its website and its members who serve as representatives of the committee's 15 member societies. Internationally, the committee plays an active role in two of the major IUTAM activities including the quadrennial International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM) and the IUTAM symposia, which are small meetings (70-100 attendees) that focus on new research topics. The committee supports U.S. involvement in these activities through its congress fellowship program and its encouragement of symposia proposals.

美国国家理论与应用力学委员会（USCAM）代表美国力学界向国际理论与应用力学联合会（IUTAM）代表美国国家科学院（NAS）。国家委员会是美国工程、科学和应用数学界在力学领域有共同兴趣的联络点。它是确定力学研究，技术和教育中的重大问题的国家论坛。它还提供了一个网络，通过这个网络，国家科学基金会和国家科学院提高了它们为全球研究、技术和教育作出贡献的能力，该委员会具有国家和国际影响。在全国范围内，它监督四年一度的全国理论和应用力学大会（NCTAM）的组织;指导力学的研究方向;并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力学界联系。在国际上，该委员会在IUTAM的两个主要活动中发挥积极作用，包括四年一度的国际理论与应用力学大会（ICTAM）和IUTAM专题讨论会，这些会议是小型会议（70-100名与会者），专注于新的研究课题。该委员会通过其国会奖学金计划和鼓励研讨会提案，支持美国参与这些活动。
