Michał Życzykowski PAN Committee on Mechanics Awards are given to young scientific employees, Polish citizens, for their scientific papers published before they reach the age of 34.
The awards are given for:
- papers of the award candidate as a sole author
- a cycle of at least four publications of which at least one has to be solely authored by the award canditate, and the rest co-authored by the candidate and a team
The PAN Committee on Mechanics was established in 1960. The Committee aims to develop the following areas of science:
- solids mechanics, with particular interest in materials mechanics,
- structural mechanics,
- fluid mechanics,
- biomechanics,
- dynamics of material systems,
- mechatronics,
- optimisation of systems and processes,
- detection and investigations of the laws governing motion, deformation and strength of materials media
The Committee acts as the National Committee for Cooperation with the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) and International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine.
