AIMETA is the official Italian association of mechanics adhering to IUTAM (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics), which organizes and coordinates a meaningful number of research activities, the most important of which are the biennial National Congress and the internationally renowned journal ?Meccanica?, published by Springer. Besides collecting and organizing all related important data and information, as far as possible, by distinguishing among the five scientific areas ? general mechanics, solids, structures, fluids, machines ? encompassed by AIMETA, the history of the association is assumed as a proper perspective to overview the evolution of theoretical and applied mechanics in Italy over about the last fifty years. This is accomplished in the first part of the book. with also a specific focus on the mechanics of solids and structures, where the biographies of a meaningful number of recognized Italian scholars of mechanics in all areas are also provided, along with testimonials and memories by a few senior people meaningfully involved with AIMETA and Italian mechanics. The second part gives an account, although unavoidably incomplete, of recent developments of mechanical sciences in Italy, as reflected also in the activities of AIMETA and with reference to the international context. Contributions by a number of invited senior scholars, still very active, consist of overviews on some scientific themes in the various areas, summaries of achievements of research groups, expressions of research viewpoints, prospects for future developments. 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aMechanical engineering 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aEngineering Mechanics 606 $aMechanical Engineering 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aStructural Materials 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aMechanical engineering. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 14$aEngineering Mechanics. 615 24$aMechanical Engineering. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 676 $a531.0720945 676 $a531.0720945 702 $aRega$b G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910574072103321 996 $a50+ years of AIMETA$92997459 997 $aUNINA
