The Division
of
Applied Mechanics strives to foster the intelligent
use of mechanics by engineers and to develop this science
to serve the needs of the engineering community. Areas of
activity cover all aspects of mechanics, irrespective of approach,
including theoretical, experimental, and computational methodology.
The field of mechanics, which is the study of how media responds
to external stimuli, includes fundamental analytical and experimental
studies in:
Biomechanics, Composite materials, Computing methods, Dynamics,
Elasticity, Experimental Methods, Fluid dynamics, Fracture,
Geomechanics, Hydrodynamics, Lubrication, Mechanical properties
of materials, Micromechanics, Plasticity and failure, Plates
and shells, Wave propagation, other related fields.
The Applied Mechanics Division is one of the oldest and largest
divisions of ASME. Professor Stephen P. Timoshenko, first
Chairman of the division, and others founded the Division.
Members of the Division have launched several blogs of interest to the international
community of Applied Mechanics:
