Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Advisory Board, it is my great pleasure to extend you a cordial invitation to participate in the 14th International Conference on Experimental Mechanics (ICEM 14) to be held in Poitiers, FRANCE, July 4-9, 2010.

ICEM14 will focus in all aspects of experimental mechanics and will include sessions devoted to advanced developments applied to structures, materials and environmental issues. The technical program of ICEM14 will be the product of hard work and devotion of more than 100 world leading experts to whom I am greatly indebted. ICEM14 will comprise invited lectures by eminent academics from all around the world together with contributed oral presentations covering all aspect of experimental mechanics. During the conference special symposia covering major areas of research activities organized by members of the Scientific Advisory Board will take place.

The attendees of ICEM14 will have the opportunity to interact with the most outstanding world leaders and get acquainted with the latest developments in the area of experimental analysis of engineering, materials and structures. ICEM14 will be a forum of university and industry interaction and exchange of ideas in an area of utmost scientific and technological importance.

I am sure that besides the superb technical program, you will enjoy the historical city of Poitiers site of the capital of the middle west part of France called Poitou-Charentes. Its University, created in 1431, is one of the oldest in France. Poitiers is known by its middle-age abbeys, its medieval architecture. Poitiers is also the site of the Futuroscope Park, one of the major leisure parks in France, even in Europe, devoted to future activities in the domain of movies, image technology …
