13th ASCE Engineering Mechanics Conference - June 13-16, 1999 Colleagues: The 13th ASCE Engineering Mechanics Specialty Conference will be held in Baltimore, Maryland June 13-16, 1999. We have a web site for the conference: http://rongo.ce.jhu.edu/emd99/ which will contain up-to-date conference information. We will be distributing a limited number paper versions of the first announcement in the next several weeks (they are the same as what is on the web). As I had your email address on file, I am taking the liberty of sending you an electronic version. Please feel free to distribute this among your colleagues. If you are interested in this meeting (and I sincerely hope that you may be) please contact us by mail, email or via the web page response form so we can keep you on the mailing list for future information on the conference. If you want to be REMOVED from the mailing list for all future information, please also notfy us immediately and we will take you off the emailing list. Some of you will receive multiple copies of this email through mutiple addresses. Please notify us which is your preferred address, and we will remove the others so as to avoid this in the future. Nick Jones and Roger Ghanem Conference Cochairs Department of Civil Engineering Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD 21218, USA =========================================================== 13th ASCE Engineering Mechanics Division Conference Department of Civil Engineering The Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD, USA June 13-16, 1999 First Announcement and Call for Abstracts Objective The 13th ASCE Engineering Mechanics Division Conference provides a major forum for the exchange of information and discussion of recent developments in, and applications of, engineering mechanics. Location The conference sessions will be conducted on the beautiful 140-acre Homewood campus of the Johns Hopkins University. The tranquillity of Homewood is just minutes away from downtown Baltimore and the attractions of the Inner Harbor, and less than an hour by train or car from Washington, D.C. Technical coverage The technical program for the conference comprises keynote lectures and submitted papers on completed and ongoing research covering topics in engineering mechanics. Specifically, the following representative topics will be covered: Solid Mechanics Fluid Mechanics Computational Mechanics Biomechanics Computational Fluid Dynamics Mechanics of Composites Continuum Mechanics Elasticity and Elastodynamics Nonlinear Mechanics Linear/Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos System Identification and Control NDE, Damage and Condition Assessment High-Performance Materials, Smart Materials and Structures Fracture, Crack Propagation, Damage Mechanics Fluid-Structure Interaction Soil Mechanics and Dynamics Micromechanics Stochastic Mechanics Mechanics of Granular Materials Experimental Analysis Call for papers Prospective authors are requested to submit a one-page abstract by August 31, 1998. The abstract should contain sections addressing the objective of the work presented, the methods employed, and conclusions. Abstracts should be submitted electronically (i.e., by email, through the WWW site or by diskette) to Professor Nicholas P. Jones, at the address provided below. Submission of hard copy (i.e., paper) abstracts - while acceptable - is strongly discouraged. Authors of accepted papers will be notified electronically on November 1, 1998, and will be requested to submit manuscripts electronically and prepared in accordance with guidelines, by January 31, 1999. Papers will be limited to four (4) pages. Conference publications Accepted abstracts will be published on the Conference WWW site before the meeting. All invited and contributed papers will be published in a CDROM volume of the conference proceedings, to be made available at the time of registration. In addition, a booklet containing the program and all one-page abstracts will also be provided at registration. Full papers will also be made available on the Conference web site. Important dates August 31, 1998 Submit Abstracts November 1, 1998 Notify Authors January 31, 1999 Submit Manuscripts June 13-16 , 1999 Conference dates Accommodations Lodging will be available in suite-style dormitory accommodations in Wolman and McCoy Halls, as well as at hotels near the campus. It is expected that the majority of attendees will stay on-campus. Reservation and payment for on-campus accommodations must be received by March 31, 1998. Off campus accommodations have been blocked out at the DoubleTree Inn at the Colonnade, a short walk from the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins. Other hotels are available near the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Transportation Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport is the nearest airport (30 minutes), and Baltimore's Penn Station (10 minutes) provides Amtrak services. Airport shuttle and train station taxi services are available to Johns Hopkins at your expense. Communications To keep Conference costs down, and to facilitate efficient transfer of information, all conference communications will be electronic UNLESS specifically requested otherwise by a registrant/author. Up-to-date future announcements will be available on the Conference Web site, along with detailed information on accommodations, etc. Prospective attendees are encouraged to make use of this site and electronic communication wherever possible for the most timely response to inquiries.
