PAST ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
2016 IUTAM Congress and General Assembly
Early Careers at the USNC/TAM Mentoring Breakfast, ICTAM 2016 (click to enlarge)
Nadine Aubry, Dean of Engineering at Northeastern University, is not only the current president (and first female president) of IUTAM, but she also organized the IUTAM General Assembly in Boston on July 23--24, 2018. The IUTAM General Assemblies and Congresses are important because they allow delegates and other attendees to make decisions that affect the global mechanicians community.
The IUTAM Bureau Prize for best lecture in Solid Mechanics by a young scientist was awarded to Professor Stavros Gaitanaros. Dr. Gaitanaros is an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and was recognized for his work on the effect of polydispersity on the crushing of open-cell random foams.
The USNC/TAM was proud to host a Mentoring Breakfast at ICTAM 2016. 46 early career professionals and mentors networked at the breakfast, during a session facilitated by USNC/TAM member Wendy Crone.

On April 22 and 23, the USNC/TAM held its 2016 meeting at the National Academies in Washington, D.C. Presentations from invited speakers are available for download here. If you are looking for the presentations from the 2015 USNC/TAM meeting, they are located here.
Additive Manufacturing Workshops Held in the United States and China
WAM2016, short for the Workshop on Predictive Theoretical, Computational, and Experimental Approaches for Additive Manufacturing (WAM 2016), was held in Dalian, China from October 17--19, 2016. The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM) co-sponsored the event. The workshop report, authored by organizers Xu Guo, Gengdong Cheng, and Wing-Kam Liu, may be purchased on Springer.com.
The workshop is an extension of the October 2015 "A Workshop on Predictive Theoretical and Computational Approaches for Additive Manufacturing" held in Washington, DC at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The U.S. workshop featured 24 presentations from speakers in academia, industry, and government labs, and the Livestream workshop broadcast has already reached over 200 live and 1,700 total viewers. All workshop media, including session videos, meeting agenda, and presentation PDFs, are listed on the 2015 Additive Manufacturing Workshop page.  Predictive Theoretical and Computational Approaches for Additive Manufacturing: Proceedings of a Workshop is now available for download or purchase.
As a result of this workshop, Lyle Levine, Project Leader of Additive Manufacturing of Metals at NIST, has proposed a series of benchmark tests and an accompanying conference series. Dr. Levine's ideas for AM-Bench are loosely based upon his existing NUMISHEET benchmark test series, which has profoundly influenced the sheet metal field for over 25 years. The project, which aims to start developing AM standards, requires input from experts across the board in industry, national labs, and academia.
If you are interested in joining the planning committee, which will define the scope and organization of this series, please contact Lyle Levine at Lyle.Levine@nist.gov.
