If you are currently an ASB member with a question about dues or journal subscriptions, please contact the Secretary/Treasurer . If you order Elsevier journals through ASB, here are instructions for accessing Clinical Biomechanics and Journal of Biomechanics.
The ASB has a new on-line membership system, where you can apply or renew a membership, purchase journal subscription and access the membership database. If you have any problems with our new on-line system, please email the Secretary/Treasurer, Paul Devita.
There are two types of Membership in the Society: REGULAR and STUDENT.
The criteria for REGULAR Membership in the Society are 1) expertise in the field of biomechanics (i.e., publication of scientific articles) and 2) contributions to the Society (e.g., attendance at biomechanics conferences). In addition to the specific information requested in the Membership Application Form, please provide a list of not more than ten of the most recent refereed scientific papers, abstracts, and book chapters in your area of interest. Professional employment history should also be documented by briefly listing relevant employment history. Applicants are also asked to list the most recent annual meetings of the American Society of Biomechanics attended. Recent graduates (be sure to provide date of degree) and applicants outside North America will be given special consideration.
Student applicants use the same process but must also provide a letter from their advisor certifying student status. Students may list courses or special projects (titles only) related to biomechanics in lieu of publications. Research assistantships and other related experiences may be listed under employment history. Attendance at the annual meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics is not required for Student Members, but related conferences attended may be listed.
Applications for membership are considered quarterly by the Membership Committee.
