As
one of a growing nationwide group of engineers and scientists
involved in commercial or academic activities in Computational
Mechanics (CM), you need up-to-date information and an active
network of contacts. Membership in USACM can help you obtain
information and provide forums for meeting new colleagues
and friends.
The objective
of USACM is to promote, foster, organize and coordinate
activities concerning computational mechanics in the United
States and to represent U.S. interests in computational
mechanics as an affiliate of the International Association
for Computational Mechanics (IACM).
With USACM membership,
you receive the USACM Bulletin and access to USACM
Net. These provide you with the following: news on developments
in the field; links to other researchers in CM; announcements
of conferences, symposia, and workshops; and items of general
interest to the CM community.
With USACM membership,
you automatically become a member in the International
Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM). As a
result, you receive expressions, the quarterly publication
of IACM, enabling you to access information from other national
associations of CM. Because IACM is an affiliate of the
International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
(IUTAM), you are connected to an international community
of scholars and practitioners working in CM and involved
in planning numerous international symposia and workshops
on CM research, including the World Congress on Computational
Mechanics held every four years. USACM also is a key participant
in the IUTAM Working Party on CM charged with organizing
mini-symposia on current topics in CM.
With USACM membership,
you can meet new colleagues and maintain friendships
through USACM-organized conferences, and short courses.
You are entitled to reduced registration fees at
the U.S. Congress on Computational Mechanics held every
two-years.
As a new feature
of the Congress, USACM is offering short courses on current
CM topics of general interest. With USACM membership, you
can have access to on-line information covering technical
assistance, employment assistance and other programs:
USACM Problem-Solving Network serves as an open forum among
USACM Members by providing daily email digests of
correspondence among participating members.
USACM Job Referral
Service provides USACM members with access to a web-based
listing of prospective employers in Computational Mechanics.
In the future, USACM Members will be able to link their
resumes to this web-based resource. USACM Computational
Community www links to home pages describing the research
activities of USACM members and scientific centers.
With USACM membership,
you are eligible for USACM Awards and Honors, for
outstanding contributions in CM. The awards recognize noteworthy
work and accomplishments in Computational Solid Mechanics,
Fluid Mechanics, and general Computational Sciences. In
addition, there is a Young Investigators award, and the
Associations highest honor, the Von Neumann Medal awarded
for outstanding and sustained contributions to CM. USACM
awards, and elevation of members to Fellow status, are announced
every two years at the USACM Congress.
To
become a USACM, and IACM member please fill out
the Membership Application and enclose $50 as payment for
two years of membership dues.
