PACAM XI - Announcement and Second Call for Papers

The 11th Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XI) will be held at the Itaipu Technological Park (PTI) in Foz do Iguaçu, a cosmopolitan city at the border of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The period of the congress is January 4 - 8, 2010.

The congress is open to participants from all over the world and papers are invited on the listed topics and in other areas within the Mechanics scope. Please submit a one-page abstract in PDF format no later than March 30, 2009. A Word template is provided at the congress website for generating the abstract. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a full-length paper with a maximum of six pages no later than June 29, 2009. Acceptance of the final paper will be based on a peer-review and contingent on presenting the final paper at PACAM XI. Accepted full-length papers will be published in electronic format and the corresponding one-page abstract will be published in Volume 13 of the PACAM series. E-mail: pacamxi@sc.usp.br.

Presenters of selected papers will be invited to submit an extension of the work for possible publication in the Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures.
