9815137RavichandranThis grant supports the Engineering Foundation conference titled "Small Fatigue Cracks: Mechanics and Mechanisms" to be held December 6-11, 1998 in Kona, Hawaii. The principal objective of this conference is to bring renewed focus on the aspects of small fatigue cracks. Of special interest are new developments related to mechanisms and related mechanics, owing to their relevance to many diverse engineering applications. Through invited presentations from experts, the conference will foster links between veteran researchers, young investigators, graduate students and application engineers by providing a forum for discussion of concepts and new directions. All interested authors and attendees from universities, research laboratories and industry will be encouraged to participate. A compendium of papers presented will be published as proceedings.A concerted effort is being made by organizers to involve a number of young scientists, graduate students and minority participants. %%%The subject of small fatigue cracks has drawn intense scrutiny in modern fatigue and fracture research. The increased use of high strength, low toughness structural materials has resulted in smaller crack sizes required for catastrophic failures. Therefore understanding the nature of small crack growth and improving the capabilities for predicting fracture are critical to the design of advanced structures.***

这笔赠款用于资助将于1998年12月6-11日在夏威夷科纳举行的题为“小疲劳裂纹：力学和机制”的工程基金会会议。本次会议的主要目标是重新关注小疲劳裂纹方面的问题。特别令人感兴趣的是与机械和相关力学有关的新发展，因为它们与许多不同的工程应用有关。通过邀请专家发表演讲，会议将通过提供一个讨论概念和新方向的论坛，促进资深研究人员、年轻研究人员、研究生和应用工程师之间的联系。所有感兴趣的作者和来自大学、研究实验室和行业的参与者将被鼓励参加。提交的论文概要将作为程序出版。组织者正在共同努力，让一些年轻的科学家、研究生和少数族裔参与者参与进来。在现代疲劳和断裂研究中，小疲劳裂纹的研究已经引起了人们的密切关注。高强度、低韧性结构材料的使用越来越多，导致灾难性故障所需的裂纹尺寸变小。因此，了解小裂纹扩展的本质，提高预测断裂的能力，对于先进结构的设计是至关重要的。
