International Conference: Solid->Solid Phase Transformations in Inorganic Materials '94 to be held at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, July 14-22, 1994

这笔拨款用于支持将于1994年7月14日至22日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡附近举行的有机材料固固相变会议。申请的资金是1万美元，用于支持研究生的参与。本次国际会议从理论和实验的角度探讨了金属、陶瓷和矿物系统中固-固相变的主题。技术课程包括160场演讲、12场特邀演讲和4场全体演讲。焦点小组的形成是为了讨论(1)数学方法；(2)教学;(3)第一次主要计算；(4)粗化过程中的弹性效应；(5)塑性变形效应。预计将有200多人参加，其中包括几位国家科学基金会的科学家和来自其他国家的科学家。固态相变影响工业应用中所用材料的性能。改进材料的关键是理解这些转变的性质和影响。这次会议为从事材料实际应用的科学家和工程师提供了一个熟悉该领域新发展的机会。＊＊＊

9403830 Soffa This grant supports the Solid-Solid Phase Transformations in Organic Materials Conference to be held near Pittsburgh, PA, July 14-22, 1994. The requested funds are $10,000 to support graduate student participation. This international conference examines the subject of solid - solid phase transformations from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints in metallic, ceramic and mineral systems. The technical program includes 160 presentations, 12 invited talks, and 4 plenary lectures. Focus groups are formed to discuss (1) mathematical approaches; (2) teaching; (3) first principal calculations; (4) elastic effects during coarsening; (5) plastic deformation effects. Over 200 people are expected to attend, including several NSF scientists and scientists from other countries. %%% Solid state phase transformations affect the properties of materials used in industrial applications. A key to improving materials is understanding the nature and effects of these transformations. The conference provides scientists and engineers involved in practical applications of materials an opportunity to familiarize themselves with new developments in the field. ***
