SACAM IN BRIEF
  The South African Conference on Applied Mechanics (SACAM) is held every two years as a forum for presenting the latest developments in all branches of applied mechanics. This is the fifth in a series of successful conferences that have been held in South Africa. The past SACAM conferences attracted both local and international participants and have proven to be excellent forums for the discussion of latest developments in applied mechanics. SACAM06 will follow in this tradition, and welcomes the participation of delegates from all parts of the world. It is aimed at bringing together scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians from academia and the industry in order to encourage scientific interchange of ideas in applied mechanics. The participation of postgraduate students is especially welcome.
