Professor Rohan Abeyaratne, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the President of the Academy. The Office of the Academy is located at the University of California, Santa Barbara, collocated with the Secretary of the Academy, Professor McMeeking. Professor Chad Landis, University of Texas at Austin, is the Treasurer and Professor Rui Huang, University of Texas at Austin, maintains the website for the Academy. The Academy has 632 members including 200 fellows. The objectives of the Academy are achieved through the many activities of the Academy, such as the web site at http://www.AAMech.org, the bi-monthly publication Mechanics and the bi-annual PACAM conferences. The print version of Mechanics now accepts peer-reviewed review articles and essays on new technologies, teaching methodologies, and research challenges. Professor Alberto Cutino is the Editor of Mechanics. The web site enhances utility of the published version of Mechanics contents through use of web links to the various journals, archives of articles, and link to other organizations that have similar interests. Reprints of selected articles from other archival sources that are of interest to the mechanics community as selected by the editor are published in the Journal as well. The Tenth Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM X) was held January 7-11, 2008, in Cancun, Mexico. The conference was chaired by Professor Thomas Attard (California State University, Fresno). The details of the meeting may be found on the conference website: http://zimmer.csufresno.edu/~tattard/pacam_x_meeting.htm. Looking ahead, Professors Paulo Lyra and Silvana Afonso from Brazil have agreed to host the PACAM in 2010. In an effort to promote additional interaction between its members, the Academy decided to sponsor a Mechanics Conference every 4-years when the ICTAM is held outside the USA. The First American Academy of Mechanics Conference will be held in New Orleans, June 17-20, 2008; Professor George Voyiadjis is the Conference Chairman. The details of the conference can be found at the following website: http://firstaam2008.lsu.edu/index.php.

J.2 AIAA: Chen AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has been the principal society of the aerospace engineer and scientist. With more than 31,000 members, AIAA is the world's largest professional society devoted to the progress of engineering and science in aviation, space, and defense. The mission of the Institute is to advance the arts, sciences, and technology of aeronautics and astronautics, and to promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits. To achieve this mission, AIAA encourages original research, furthers dissemination of new knowledge; fosters the professional development of those engaged in science and engineering, improves public understanding of aerospace and its contributions; fosters education in engineering and science; promotes communication among engineers, scientists, and other professional groups; and stimulates outstanding professional accomplishments. The Institute is the principal voice, information resource, and publisher for aerospace engineers, scientists, managers, policymakers, students, and educators. Over the past 70+ years, AIAA and its predecessor organizations have published more than 1000 titles and 300,000 meeting papers. Current publications include seven journals, two magazines, three book series, national and international standards, growing numbers of electronic products, and a full-service, interactive web site. AIAA is also the go-to resource for stimulating professional accomplishment and standards-driven excellence in all areas of aerospace for prominent corporations and government organizations worldwide. Drawing on the vast expertise of its membership, AIAA has 21 Standing Committees that help the Institute achieve its multi-faceted mission and guide its course into the future. The Technical Activities Committee (TAC) develops and recommends procedures relating to matters concerning technical and professional activities. The TAC is organized to 70 Technical Committees (TC). These TCs bring together experts in their fields and given them the opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know their colleagues from around the globe. These committees develop and administer over 20 technical conferences each year; conduct professional development courses, produce books, and work with K-12 students to promote an interest in engineering education. The TCs also honor technical leadership through Technical and Best Paper awards; serve as journal and book reviewers; formulate technology assessment packages for the non- technical public, and even develop and judge college student design contests. Technical Committees of interest to the theoretical and applied mechanics community include adaptive structures, aeronautics, applied aerodynamics, astrodynamics, design engineering, energetics, flight mechanics, fluid dynamics, materials, propulsion, structures, and structural dynamics. The active public policy and public information programs make AIAA a leading advocate for aerospace among government decision-makers - and a trusted information resource for the media on all subjects relating to aerospace technology. These programs include developing authoritative position papers on important policy issues; conducting workshops that present their findings to key public opinion leaders; providing timely information in response to breaking events and initiatives; coordinating expert testimony and information presented to Congress; fostering relationships with the media and the public to give them a better understanding of how aerospace programs benefit the nation's economy, security, and technological growth. The 11th AIAA annual Congressional Visits Day will be held April 16, 2008 in Washington DC. This is an annual event that brings scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, and technology executives to Washington to raise visibility and support for science, engineering, and technology.

  • How a Minimal Surface Leaves an Obstacle
    HOW A MINIMAL SURFACE LEAVES AN OBSTACLE BY DAVID KINDERLEHRER University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA (1) This paper is an investigation of the curve of separation determined by the solution to a variational inequality for minimal surfaces. A strictly convex domain ~ in the z = x 1 +ix~ plane is given together with a smooth function ~p which assumes a positive maxi- mum in ~ and is negative on ~, the boundary of ~. Let u denote the Lipschitz function which minimizes area among all Lipschitz functions in ~ constrained to lie above ~p in and to vanish on a~. For such u there is a coincidence set I c ~ consisting of those points z where u(z)=yJ(z). Let us call F={(xl, x~, xa): xa=u(z)=y~(z), zE~I} the "curve" of se- paration. The object of this paper is to show that F is analytic, as a function of its arc length parameter, provided that y; is strictly concave and analytic. The study of the coincidence set of the solution to a variational inequality and its curve of separation was originated, together with the study of the regularity of the solu- tion, by H. Lewy and G. Stampacchia ([11)]. They obtained, essentially, the result pre- sented here for the variational inequality derived from the Dirichlet Integral. The topo- logical conclusion that r is a Jordan curve was reached under the assumption that yJ E C2(~) be strictly concave, a conclusion valid for a wide variety of cases, in particular the problem treated in this paper ([6]). Our demonstration reties on the resolution of a system of differential equations and the utilization of the solution to extend analytically a conformal representation of the minimal surface which is the graph of u in the subset of ~ where u(z)>~(z).

  • Writing the History of Dynamical Systems and Chaos

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

Osher, Chair In this dissertation, we provide efficient algorithms for modeling the behavior of a single agent, multiple agents, and a continuum of agents. For a single agent, we combine the modeling framework of optimal control with advances in optimization splitting in order to efficiently find optimal paths for problems in very high-dimensions, thus providing allevia- tion from the curse of dimensionality. For a multiple, but finite, number of agents, we take the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and utilize imitation learning in order to decentralize a centralized expert, thus obtaining optimal multi-agents that act in a de- centralized fashion. For a continuum of agents, we take the framework of mean-field games and use two neural networks, which we train in an alternating scheme, in order to efficiently find optimal paths for high-dimensional and stochastic problems.
