Planning Visit to China to develop a Joint Research Project on Materials Failure.

9531509陈该奖项支持对中国的计划访问，以制定一个关于材料破坏演化的联合研究项目。美国私家侦探曾晨博士是密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校土木工程系助理教授。他对这次研究计划访问的期望是确定与中国的一个重要的、设备齐全的实验室的合作计划，即连续介质非线性力学实验室，在力学研究所。这个实验室有一个庞大的跨学科小组，基于变形机制的运动学，探索不同尺度上的金属失效响应。这项研究将有助于更好地理解材料失效的微观力学，并改进失效预测。

9531509 Chen This award supports a planning visit to China to develop a joint research project on the evolution of material failure. The US PI, Dr. Zeng Chen, is an assistant professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Missouri at Columbia. His expectation from the research planning visit is to define a program of cooperation with an important, well-equipped laboratory in China, the Laboratory for Non- linear Mechanics of Continuous Media, within the Institute of Mechanics. This lab has a large interdisciplinary group exploring metal failure responses at different scales based on the kinematics of deformation mechanisms. This research should contribute to better understanding of the micromechanics of material failure and to improving failure prediction.
