The Third International Conference on Progress in Durability Analysis of Composite Systems

* 9714608 复合材料系统耐久性国际会议在汇集力学和材料技术领域的科学家和工程师方面取得了广泛认可的成功，这对经济和国防至关重要。 这 第三次会议是有史以来第一次在美国举行， 结果 向国际组织委员会提交一份成功的提案。 本次会议还重点讨论了美国、欧洲和日本，特别是在目前对这些国家非常重要的技术领域。 将特别注意 到 高性能复合材料，特别是聚合物和陶瓷复合材料，以及所有材料的时间依赖性行为，如最近的美国-欧共体材料研究委员会在布鲁塞尔。 该会议的一个独特之处是，在每次会议结束时汇编概念进展情况，下一次会议将在前几次会议所取得进展的基础上再接再厉。 以这种方式选择了作为本次会议主要重点的概念。 的 这次会议的及时性特别重要。 欧洲已经启动了几个主要的国家计划 在 高 performance materials 为 恶劣的环境，这些项目的第一批成果刚刚问世。 请求支持这次会议的一个主要原因是提供一种方法，邀请这些技术领域的主要美国和欧洲参与者参加会议，带来有关这些活动的重要信息， 他说，“我们将向美国技术界提供相关的研究方向，特别是使那些无法负担来参加会议的年轻研究人员成为可能。 会议组织 会议组织正在办理中 由弗吉尼亚理工大学在该研究所有限的财政支持下进行。 合作 美国 组织包括 的 弗吉尼亚材料系统研究所和格鲁吉亚理工学院;其他人正在联系中。 会议的范围包括所有类型的高性能聚合物和复合材料系统，接口 和界面，高温材料，智能材料和结构，疲劳，断裂和损伤分析。约有16名受邀发言者承诺在会议上发言，并收到了40份提供的摘要。 投稿论文将于1997年2月选出 *。

*** 9714608 The International Conference on Durability of Composite Systems has enjoyed widely recognized success in bringing together scientists and engineers in a technical area of mechanics and materials that is important to the economy and critical to the defense of our country. This third Conference is the first ever to be held in the U.S., the result of a successful proposal to the International organizing board. This Conference also focuses on joint activities between the U.S., Europe, and Japan, especially in technical areas of great current importance to those countries. Special attention will be given to high performance composites, especially polymeric and ceramic composites, and to the time-dependent behavior of all materials as identified by the recent U.S.-EC Commission on materials research in Brussels. A unique feature of the Conference is the fact that conceptual progress is compiled at the end of each Conference, and the next Conference builds on the progress that was made in previous ones. Concepts were chosen in that way for the primary focus of the current Conference. The timeliness of this Conference is of special importance. Europe has initiated several major national programs in high performance materials for severe environments, and the first results of those programs are just becoming available. A major reason for requesting support for this Conference is to provide a means of inviting and bringing to the Conference the major U.S. and European players in those technical areas to bring important information about those activities and the associated directions of research to the U.S. technical community, and especially to make it possible to bring young researchers to the Conference who could not otherwise afford to come. Conference organization Conference organization is being handled by Virginia Tech with limited financial backing from that Institute. Cooperating U.S. organizations include the Virginia Institute for Material Systems, and Georgia Tech; others are being contacted. The scope of the Conference includes all types of high performance polymer and composite systems, interfaces and interphases, high-temperature materials, smart materials and structures, fatigue, fracture, and damage analysis. Some 16 invited speakers have committed to the Conference, and 40 contributed abstracts have been received. Contributed papers will be chosen in February of 1997.***
