st The21 InternationalCongressofTheoreticalandAppliedMechanics
(ICTAM04) took place August 15 - 21, 2004, in Warsaw, Poland. It
was organized by Polish National Committee of IUTAM, Institute of
Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of
Sciences (IPPTPAN)andWarsawUniversityofTechnology. TheCongressvenue
was the main building of Warsaw University of Technology. The idea
of congresses devoted to mechanics, can be traced back to a
conference on problems of?uid mechanics in Innsbruck, 1922. It was
organized by four individuals, whose names, are and will, remain
very
wellknowntonextgenerationsofscientists,C.W.Oseen,T.Levi-Civite,
T.vonKarm ' ' ' an,andL.Prandtl.
Thisconferencewassofruitful,thatthe organizers decided to arrange
similar meetings in the future, every four years, and to extend the
scope of the future meetings to include solid mechanics. Hence a
series of meetings started eighty years agowiththe st 1 ICTAM held
in Delft, Netherlands. From the meetingsoftheCongress Committee
sprang the idea of a more permanent organization to look out for
the world interests in the mechanical sciences. Thus, IUTAM,
theInternational Unionof Theor- ical and Applied Mechanics, was
formed on September 26, 1946. In 1947 IUTAM became a member of
ICSU, the International Council of Sci- ti?c Unions, itself founded
in 1931. The highest authority of IUTAMis the General Assembly,
with delegates from the Adhering Organizations, each of which is
a?liated with a national learned society in a given country.
Scienti?cProgram Contemporary mechanics poses both, the fundamental
problems from the area of pure science, and its strong links with
modern technology.
