Second U.S.-China Symposium/Workshop on Recent Developments and Future Trends of Computational Mechanics in Structural Engineering, Dalian, China, May 1998

9725017杨该奖项支持美国-中国关于结构工程计算力学的研讨会。美方主办方是加州大学欧文分校的杨扬，中方主办方是大连理工大学的顾元宪和钟万勰。本次研讨会将重点介绍结构工程领域的最新进展，并确定可能的联合研究工作。在过去的二十年里，结构力学领域为结构工程的实践做出了重要贡献。计算力学、失效和断裂力学、结构控制和监测都为改善结构体系的建造和维护做出了巨大贡献。对民用基础设施采取系统办法的发展极大地改变了世界各国的研究议程。鉴于中国对强震等事件的易感性，中国也强调了这些领域的研究，并开发出了非常有竞争力的技术和技术。这次研讨会将允许交流最新信息和确定互惠互利的联合研究项目。双方的高级和初级研究人员都将参加。中方将由中国国家自然科学基金委员会和国家教委提供支持。

9725017 Yang This award supports a U.S.-China workshop on computational mechanics in structural engineering. The U.S. organizer is Jann Yang, University of California at Irvine; the Chinese organizers are Gu Yuanxian and Zhong Wanxie, Dalian University of Technology. This workshop will focus on recent advances in structural engineering and identify possible joint research efforts. In the past two decades, the field of structural mechanics has made important contributions to the practice of structural engineering. Computational mechanics, failure and fracture mechanics, structural control and monitoring have all made dramatic contributions to the improvement of construction and maintenance of structural systems. The development of a systems approach to civil infrastructure has dramatically changed the research agenda in countries worldwide. Given China's susceptibility to events such as strong earthquakes, China has also emphasized research in these areas, and has developed techniques and technologies that are very competitive. This symposium will allow exchange of current information and definition of mutually advantageous joint research projects. Participation will include senior and junior researchers on both sides. Support on the Chinese side will be provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and by the State Education Commission.
