This book presents extensive information related to the history of IUTAM. The initial chapters focus on IUTAM’s history and selected organizational aspects. Subsequent chapters provide extensive data and statistics, while the closing section showcases photos from all periods of the Union’s history. The history of IUTAM, the International Union on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, began at a conference in 1922 in Innsbruck, Austria, where von Kármán put forward the idea of an international congress including the whole domain of applied mechanics. In 1946 IUTAM was then formally launched in Paris/France. IUTAM has since time organized more than 24 world congresses and 380 symposia, representing all fields of mechanics and highlighting advances by prominent international researchers. The efforts of IUTAM and its about 50 member countries serve to promote the mechanical sciences and the advancement of human society, addressing many key challenges. In this context, IUTAM preserves important traditions while at the same time recognizing new challenges and adapting its structures and processes accordingly. The first edition of this book was published in 1988. This new book now offers an updated and completely revised edition reflecting the substantial developments in the interim.

Focusing on the application of analytical mechanics, this book explores the essential principles of applied dynamics in various engineering fields, including mechanical, automotive, aerospace, and biomechanics. It emphasizes D'Alembert's principle within the Lagrangian framework, providing a consistent treatment of multibody, finite element, and continuous systems. Students gain a deeper understanding of dynamical phenomena, while engineers can easily verify results through models of varying complexity for vibration and stress analysis, enhancing both learning and practical application.

PURGATORY BEACH ist die erste Photographic Novel welche ausschliesslich mit einer Camera obscura (Lochkamera) fotografiert wurde. Die Bildgeschichte ist ohne Text da sich ihr Sinn durch die Betrachtung der Bildfolge ergibt. Die 67 Duotone und 6 kolorierten Bilder sind auf 300 gm2 Munken Pure gedruckt. Hardcoverband mit Fadenbindung, signiert und nummeriert (1 - 199). Es existiert ein vierminütiges Video in den sozialen Medien (you tube, Vimeo, facebook): Peter Eberhard PURGATORY BEACH Photographic Novel
