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

该项目与ARO，ONR，AFOSR和DoE的类似支持相结合，将支持旅行费用，以促进大约50名研究生参加第14届美国全国理论和应用力学大会。 该研讨会每四年举行一次，由美国国家理论和应用力学委员会主办，今年将由弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的工程科学和力学系主办。 它将为交流思想、培养友谊、更新熟人、建立网络和教育研究生提供一个环境。 来自世界各地的行业，企业和政府的关键和杰出人士将被邀请在研讨会上发表主题演讲和演讲。将特别强调纳米科学，非均匀介质中的波传播，流体结构相互作用和力学教育的新兴领域。 将尽一切努力选择一个种族和科学多样化的学生群体，代表理论和应用力学的所有领域。

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.
