Travel Funds for the Participation of Graduate Students in the 14th USNCTAM

该项目与ARO， ONR， AFOSR和DoE的类似支持一起，将支持大约50名研究生参加第14届美国全国理论与应用力学大会的差旅费。该研讨会由美国国家理论与应用力学委员会主办，每四年举办一次，今年将由弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学工程科学与力学系主办。它将提供一个交流思想，培养友谊，更新熟人，建立网络和教育研究生的环境。来自世界各地的工业界、学术界和政府的重要和杰出人士将被邀请在研讨会上发表主题演讲和演讲。课程将特别强调纳米科学、波在异质介质中的传播、流固相互作用和力学教育等新兴领域。将尽一切努力选择一个种族和科学多样化的学生群体来代表理论和应用力学的各个领域。

This project, in conjunction with similar support from ARO, ONR, AFOSR and DoE will support travel expenses to facilitate participation of roughly 50 graduate students to the 14th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. This workshop is held every four years under the auspices of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and this year it will be hosted by the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. It will provide a setting for exchanging ideas, cultivating friendships, renewing acquaintances, building networks, and educating graduate students. Key and distinguished individuals from industry, academe, and government, from all over the world will be invited to give keynote lectures and presentations in the workshop. A special emphasis will be placed on the emerging fields of nanoscience, wave propragation in heterogeneous media, fluid-structure interaction and Mechanics Education. Every effort will be made to select both an ethnically and scientifically diverse group of students to represent all areas of theoretical and applied mechanics.
