Request for Foreign Travel Grant, Fifth International Symposium on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, Tokyo, Japan, April 13-18, 1986

美国一家学术机构的五名主要组织者参加了1986年1月13日至18日在日本东京举行的第五届海洋力学和北极工程国际研讨会(OMAE)，并为他们提供了航空旅行。这项一年一度的活动由美国机械工程师协会(ASME)-Omae分会、国家科学基金会和其他20个国际协会或协会共同主办。研讨会成功地促进了近海力学和北极工程以及国际技术转让。这是同类会议中规模最大的一次，来自大约31个国家的技术专家汇聚一堂。组织者在冰力学、疲劳和断裂控制、流体动力学和应用于近海和北极问题的结构力学等研究领域取得了特别成功。

Air travel is provided for five key organizers from a U.S. academic institution to attend the Fifth International Symposium on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE) in Tokyo, Japan, Aril 13-18, 1986. This annual event has been co-sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)-OMAE Division, National Science Foundation, and 20 other international societies or associations. The symposia have been successful in promoting offshore mechanics and arctic engineering and international technology transfer. This is the largest technical conference of its kind and brings together technical experts from around 31 countries. The organizers have been particularly successful in the reseach areas of ice mechanics, fatigue and fracture control, hudrodynamics, and structural mechanics as applied to offshore and arctic problems.
