Purdue 2014 USNCTAM Proposal Page 1 TH THE 17 U.S. NATIONAL CONGRESS OF THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY

1. INTRODUCTION Purdue University is pleased to submit this proposal to host the 17th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at its main campus in West Lafayette, IN, in 2014. The proposed theme for the Congress, “Mechanics of Multifunctional Devices,” has a highly multidisciplinary context that reflects the versatile nature of mechanics. The fundamental principles of mechanics have been applied in emerging technologies including micro-scale structures, semi-conductor devices, cell motion, biomedical systems, energy-harvesting systems, as well as in traditional disciplines from aerodynamics to structural engineering. The physical phenomena described by mechanics spans multiple length scales from quantum wells to impact crater formation. The scale of mechanics problems ranges from closed-form solutions to massive parallel computation. To reflect the modern advances in mechanics, we propose the theme of Mechanics of Multifunctional Devices for the 2014 Congress. Institutional support from Purdue for the Congress is expressed in letters (Appendix A) from Dr. Leah Jamieson, John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and Dr. France A. Córdova, President. th Highlights of the strength that Purdue University offers to support the 17 U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics are presented in the following sections and include: • A large group of diverse, cooperative people who have both high academic reputations and extensive service experiences in mechanics communities; • Excellent facilities and infrastructure that have supported successful conferences of many types and sizes; and • A central location in the United States that combines the resources of a large research university with the ambience of a college town that is easily accessible from either Indianapolis or Chicago.

2. ORGANIZATION The Congress will be organized by the Congress Executive Committee, comprising the following members:

Conte Professor of Computer Science 2014 USNCTAM Congress Co-Chair Wayne Chen Professor of Aero/Astro and Materials Engineering 2014 USNCTAM Technical Program Coordinator R. Byron Pipes 2014 Congress Planning Committee Co-Chair CT Sun 2014 Congress Planning Committee Co-Chair Keith Bowman Head, School of Materials Engineering E. Daniel Hirleman Head, School of Mechanical Engineering George Wodicka Head, School of Biomedical Engineering M. Katherine Banks Head, School of Civil Engineering Bernard Engel Head, School of Agricultural and Biological Engineering The Congress Executive Committee members have distinguished records of mechanics research and exceptional experience in organizing international scholarly meetings (Appendix B: Co-Chair Curricula Vitae). The Technical Program will be assembled by a technical program committee (TPC) that consists of three sub-committees on analytical, experimental, and computational aspects of mechanics, respectively. Both fluid mechanics and solid mechanics will be well represented on each sub-committee. In order to facilitate communication during the planning and management of the Congress, it is proposed that the chair of each sub-committee be a member of the Purdue faculty. Due to the large size and diverse research expertise in Purdue’s Engineering, there are many highly qualified scholars to serve on these positions. The Congress Co-Chairs will appoint the TPC Chairs and serve as ex-officio members of the TPCs. Congress Planning Committee Co-Chairs will also serve as ex-officio members of the Congress Program Committee. The great majority of the 15-30 TPC members will be selected from the world-wide mechanics community outside Purdue by consensus of the Congress and TPC Chairs, and submitted for approval by the U.S. National Committee. Besides the TPC Chairs, Purdue University has an exceptionally strong mechanics community to draw upon in organizing the Congress. Appendix C documents that there are over one hundred faculty and staff members engaged in mechanics research and education in the Colleges of Engineering, Science, Agriculture, and Technology. The Congress Chair, Professor Farris is a well recognized solid mechanician and served as the Chair of the Executive Committee of ASME’s Applied Mechanics Division. The Co- Chair, Professor Ahmed Sameh, is an expert on computational mechanics and served on many editorial boards of computational Journals. The TPC Coordinator, Professor

Purdue 2014 USNCTAM Proposal Page 3 Wayne Chen, is currently a member of USNC/TAM. The Planning Committee is co- chaired by two distinguished and experienced mechanicians. Professor R. Byron Pipes is a member of NAE and was President of RPI. He is an outstanding scientist in composite mechanics and an expert on planning and managing events efficiently. Professor CT Sun has 40 years’ experiences in mechanics research and has organized/hosted many mechanics workshops and conferences. The Congress Executive Committee will appoint a Social Program Committee to interact with the Conferences Division of Continuing Education & Conferences at Purdue University in planning a social program for accompanying guests that will take advantage of the scenic and historical points of interest in the boilermakers’ heartland and the Tippecanoe Battleground. Purdue’s Conference Division serves many conference events of all sizes every year. For example, the annual Future Farmer conference has 13,000 attendees, whereas the Consumer Science annual conference has been on Purdue campus for over 90 years.

3. CONGRESS SCHEDULE AND FACILITIES Following the tradition of six-day-long congress in mid-June, we propose to hold the 17th Congress from Sunday June 22 through Friday June 27, 2014. A check with major computation mechanics events and local Purdue events does not find conflict for this week. A table of the overall planning is shown below. Registration will begin on Sunday afternoon. Administrative sessions, requested by the respective administrative committees, are scheduled to be on Sunday afternoon/evening, at working lunches and on weekday evenings. Plenary sessions will be held on four weekday mornings. Technical sessions will be held all five weekdays, with a free afternoon on Wednesday. To facilitate interactions among congress attendees, the congress welcoming reception is scheduled on Monday evening to attract a larger attendance. The Congress Banquet is scheduled for Thursday evening in order to encourage participation into Friday. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 8:30–10:15 AM Plenary Plenary Tech.
