    Abstract:

    After briefly summarizing the main continuum mechanics milestones of the past founders up to 1960’s, an account of the transition to material mechanics in 1970’s is given. The most notable early contributions in China are reviewed and current activities in a variety of fields in emerging technologies are outlined. Some ground-breaking approaches initiated at the Academy’s Laboratory of Nonlinear Mechanics are discussed and the role of Wei Yang’s school in shaping the future of material mechanics in China and the world is pointed out.
