This online collection is comprised of invited papers based on the paper/poster winners and finalists of the student paper/poster competitions that took place during the 2022 Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Conference. These articles reflect the depth and breadth of the research that is routinely presented in one of the premier engineering mechanics conferences in the world. They also reflect the commitment of EMI and the Journal of Engineering Mechanics (JEM) to promote the participation of students and younger researchers in the advancement of engineering mechanics at large. This special collection is supported by the following EMI Committees: Computational Mechanics, Dynamics, Elasticity, Granular Materials, Modeling Inelasticity and Multiscale Behavior, Poromechanics, Probabilistic Methods, Stability, and Structural Health Monitoring and Control.
