It doesn’t matter how beautiful the theory is, or how smart we are. If the theory does not agree with the experiment, it is wrong.

Richard Feynman

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be discovered.

Carl Sagan

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Stephen Hawking

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited to what we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Albert Einstein

Who are we?

The Section of Mechanics of Structures and Materials deals with the modeling of materials and structures, paying particular attention to the theoretical foundations and computational models. The members of the Section are members of the Civil Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences who conduct research on topics consistent with the areas of the Section’s activity. The members of the Problem Group are representatives of research centers in Poland who deal with theoretical research, laboratory research, computer simulations in the mechanics of structures and materials, and the implementation of research results in standards. The Section cares about the quality of education in the field of mechanics with a detailed consideration of theoretical and experimental foundations of mechanics of materials and structures as well as computer methods.
