The Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM) aims 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. A sponsor of PACAM XVI in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as well as previous congresses, is the American Academy of Mechanics.
