The meeting proceeded according to the agenda

The minutes of the IMECE 04 meeting were approved.

DRM symposia at IMECE 05 meeting: Ruqiang Feng reported that the two DRM-sponsored sessions on dynamic failure that took place on Sunday were well attended, with about 25 people in attendance. L. Roy Xu reported a similar success for his session on the dynamic response of composite materials that also took place on Sunday. Mrinal C. Saha of Tuskegee University organized one session on cellular materials for this meeting and also reported a successful session.

Relevant symposia at future meetings. 1) The 15th US Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics will take place on June 25-30, 2006 in Boulder, CO. The congress website is http://usnctam06.colorado.edu/. Contact the organizers if you are interested in submitting a proposal for a symposium. 2) Florin Bobaru (fbobaru2@unl.edu) is organizing a symposium on Advances in Computing the Dynamic Behavior of Heterogeneous Materials as part of the WCCM2006 that will take place in Los Angeles on (web site: http://www.wccm2006.northwestern.edu/). The deadline is November 15, 2005.

The 2006 IMECE will be held in Chicago, IL, on November 4-10, 2006. Four symposia were proposed. M. Vural proposed a 4-session symposium on Dynamic Response of Cellular Solids and Soft Tissues. W. Chen, A. M. Rajendran and S. Maiti proposed a 4-session symposium on Impact and Shock Response of Materials. I. Chasiotis and B. LaMattina would like to organize a 2-session symposium on Dynamic Properties of MEMS, Interfaces and Multilayer Structures. Finally, L. R. Xu and M. C. Saha requested 2 sessions for a symposium on Dynamic Behavior of Composite Materials.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:35 am.

Minutes respectfully submitted by P. H. Geubelle
