PACAMAbout
The Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM) has been a biennial event, which from this year will be organized annually. The aim of the congress is to promote progress in the broad field of mechanics by (1) exposing engineers and scientists, as well as advanced graduate students, to new research developments, methods, and problems in mechanics and (2) providing broad opportunities for personal interactions through means of formal presentations and informal conversations.
PACAM XIV will be held in Santiago, Chile, hosted by Universidad de Chile.
