PREFACE

 

The annual meeting of The 48th Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (NCTAM-48) was held at the Science Council of Japan in Tokyo on January 25, 26 and 27, 1999, under the joint sponsorship of the National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (NCTAM) ,

Committee for Mechanics and Structure of the Science Council of Japan, and the nineteen related societies listed below.

The Congress invites papers from every field of mechanics to overview current trends of researches in Japan . In order to highlight the most important current problems in mechanics, the Committee selects pre-nominated sessions and panels as well as invited lectures. This year � they were fourteen pre-nominated sessions such as advanced computation in mechanics, unified analysis of multiphase flow, molecular dynamics, environmental fluid mechanics, etc,, five panels as on meshless computation, renewable energy, composite fluids, etc. and two invited lectures. The executive committee of the NCTAM-48 was chaired by Prof. Y. Miyake of Osaka University .

Of one hundred and eighty-four papers presented at the meeting, forty-seven papers have been reviewed by the Editorial Committee and included in the present volume.
