Symposium in honor of Prof. Roger Fosdick at PACAM XIII

Dear Colleague:

Roger Fosdick will be retiring this year from his position as Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota. In his honor, we are organizing a symposium on the "Continuum Mechanics of Solids and Fluids" at PACAM XIII (Thirteenth Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics). The conference will be held in Houston, Texas during May 22-24, 2013. More information is available here:

We encourage you to submit an abstract (which you can do at the above link) so that this meeting will be a fitting tribute to and celebration of Roger's long and distinguished career. The submission deadline is Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

We hope to see you in Houston!

Sincerely yours,

Ellad Tadmor, Adair Aguiar and Ryan Elliott
