This is the sixth official Congress of the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM). It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, in Dearborn, Michigan on Wednesday through Friday, August 1-3, 2001. A Post-Conference Short Course will be offered on Saturday August 4.

Since the first US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM), held in 1991, the USNCCM has developed into an international Congress, with participation from Europe, South America and the Pacific Rim. The 6th Congress will continue this international tradition, particularly as the 6th Congress endeavors to strengthen ties with the automotive and manufacturing industries. Based upon the location in the heartland of the US automotive and manufacturing industries we envision active involvement in the Congress by industry. Thus, the 6th USNCCM will cover a wide, international spectrum of fundamental research in and practical application of computational mechanics. This breadth is exhibited in the invited keynote lecturers, from Europe, Asia, and the US, on topics ranging from simulation in industry to applied mathematics. The breadth and depth of the Congress can also be seen from the planned MiniSymposia.

This Web site will act as the portal to information about the Congress. Be sure to bookmark this page and visit regularly for updates.

The US Association for Computational Mechanics is an affiliate of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM)
