Travel Support for U. S. Contributors to ICTAM, Japan

摘要 CTS-9523484 将为一批年轻的学术研究人员提供部分旅行支持，以参加将于 1996 年 8 月 25 日至 31 日在日本京都举行的国际理论与应用力学大会 (ICTAM) 并发表论文。大会将涵盖整个理论和应用力学领域，成为世界范围内传播流体和固体力学知识的领先论坛。 特别研讨会将专门讨论以下主题：涡度动力学和湍流、非牛顿流体流动、空气和水声学、非均质和复合固体力学、制造中的固体力学以及结构优化。 将包括各个领域的专业会议，包括计算流体力学、多相流、接触和摩擦问题、断裂和裂纹力学、结构稳定性和地震工程。 美国国家理论与应用力学委员会拥有 14 个国家工程、科学和数学学会的成员，并代表美国参加 ICTAM 的组织者国际理论与应用力学联合会 (IUTAM)。 NSF 拨款将部分支持前往 15 至 20 名年轻研究人员参加的会议，他们将在 ICTAM 上发表论文。 他们的参与对于向年轻学术一代推进 IUTAM 目标以及美国力学界在大会上的适当代表性至关重要。 ***

ABSTRACT CTS-9523484 Partial travel support will be provided to a group of young academic researchers to participate and present papers at the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM), to be held in Kyoto Japan, 25-31 August 1996. The Congress will cover the entire field of theoretical and applied mechanics, being a leading forum for dissemination of fluid and solid mechanics knowledge in the world. Special symposia will be devoted for the following topics: vorticity dynamics and turbulence, non-Newtonian fluid flow, aero- and hydroacoustics, mechanics of heterogeneous and composite solids, solid mechanics in manufacturing, and structural optimization. Specialized sessions in a variety of areas, including, computational fluid mechanics, multiphase flow, contact and friction problems, fracture and crack mechanics, stability of structures, and earthquake engineering, will be included. The U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics has as members 14 national societies in engineering, science and mathematics, and is representing U.S. in the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM), the organizer of ICTAM. The NSF grant will partially support travel to the meeting of 15 to 20 young investigators, who will present papers at ICTAM. Their participation is essential for the advancement of the IUTAM objectives to younger academic generation and suitable representation of the U.S. mechanics community at the Congress. ***
