Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics has underpinned a number of new technologies over the past decade from air, sea and land vehicles to modern infrastructure and medical devices.
Often new advances emerge at the interface between seemingly distinct fields such as mechano-biology and the invention and development of electrochemical devices such as the lithium-ion battery. The modern gas turbine engine and emerging sustainable energy devices rely upon mechanics for their efficient and cost-effective functioning.
IUTAM promotes such cross-cutting developments and welcomes a range of media presentations to put a spotlight on modern mechanics and its significance for society.
