Technical Committees
The mission of a Technical Committee is to promote a field in Applied Mechanics. The principal approach for a Technical Committee to accomplish this mission is to organize symposia at the Summer and Winter Meetings. Technical Committees generally meet at the Winter Annual Meeting and the Summer Meeting; they may also schedule special meetings.
There are 17 Technical Committees in the Applied Mechanics Division.
Technical Committees are established and dissolved by the Executive Committee.

“Cry cry what shall I cry?
The first thing to do is to form the committees:
