The Research Committee on Mechanics of Jointed Structures shall investigate a broad spectrum of issues associated with the theoretical, experimental, and computational aspects of mechanics of joints and the mechanics of jointed structures. The Committee's functions are as follows:
- Generation of new knowledge and development of guidelines for use by engineers and scientists in measurement, analysis, prediction, and design of mechanical joints and jointed structures. The forms for dissemination of this information shall include proceedings, monographs, and handbooks.
- Promotion of education, training and dissemination of new knowledge on mechanical joints and mechanics of jointed structures.
- Identification of need and the support of research leading to development of codes and guidelines by the ASME Codes and Standards Sector and other standards writing organizations
- Communication with funding agencies for research support leading to applications of these topics.
- Organization of seminars, workshops, symposia and conferences focused on these topics.
- Collaboration with relevant ASME technical divisions for carrying out the above tasks.
