Eleventh International Symposium on Nondestructive Characterization of Materials; Berlin, Germany; June 24-28, 2002

该基金将用于支持将于2002年6月24日至28日在德国柏林举行的第十一届材料无损表征国际研讨会。这将是1983年首次举行的一系列国际研讨会中的最新一次。这些专题讨论会的目的是提供一个独特的重点对科学和技术的无损评价应用于材料特性。最终目标是开发创新的，更灵敏，更精确的方法来表征材料的性能，比目前的无损检测技术更早，以便在宏观缺陷发生之前检测和纠正任何对所需应用有害的材料变化。论文将包括老化基础设施的研究和应用，微观结构的无损表征，过程控制的在线测量，无损表征测量的精度和准确性，计算机辅助断层扫描的进展，非接触式超声，微波的进展和应用，以及先进的高分辨率探测技术。相当大的兴趣将是国家的最先进的发展和应用的复杂性质的材料已被认识。资金的接受者将由组委会根据地域分配的意识和包括尽可能多的妇女和少数民族的愿望来选择。材料的无损表征已经引起了材料界以及关注真实的结构的无损检测的质量和灵敏度的执业工程师的极大兴趣。这次研讨会的功能是聚集无损检测技术人员和无损检测研究人员。将讨论材料特性（如屈服强度、延展性、弹性模量、晶粒尺寸、微观结构、纹理、纤维位置和残余应力）的无损检测和评估的研究、需求和应用。在专题讨论会期间将举行几次海报展示会，以便许多与会者，特别是青年科学家和研究生能够展示其研究工作的成果。这笔赠款支持根据其需要和专门知识选定的与会者的旅行和登记。

This grant supports the Eleventh International Symposium on Nondestructive Characterization of Materials to be held June 24-28, 2002, in Berlin, Germany. This will be the latest in a series of international symposia that was first held in 1983. The objective of these symposia is to provide a unique focus on the science and technology of nondestructive evaluation applied to materials characterization. The ultimate goal is to develop innovative, more sensitive and more precise methods to characterize the properties of materials much earlier than possible with current nondestructive testing techniques, so that any material alterations detrimental to the desired application can be detected and corrected well before macroscopic defects occur. Papers will include research and applications for aging infrastructure, nondestructive characterization of microstructures, on-line measurements for process control, precision and accuracy of nondestructive characterization measurements, advances in computed assisted tomography, non-contact ultrasonics, microwave advances and applications, and advanced high resolution probing techniques. Of considerable interest will be state-of-the-art developments and applications where the complex nature of materials has been recognized. The recipients of funds will be selected by the organizing committee with awareness of geographical distribution and the desire to include as many women and minorities as possible.The nondestructive characterization of materials has been of immense interest to the materials community as well as practicing engineers concerned about the quality and sensitivity of nondestructive examination of real structures. This symposium functions to gather together both NDT technologists and NDE researchers. Research, needs, and applications in the nondestructive testing and evaluation of material characteristics such as yield strength, ductility, elastic modulus, grain size, microstructure, texture, fiber placement, and residual stress will be discussed. Several poster sessions will be held during the course of the symposium so that many participants can present the results of their research efforts, especially young scientists and graduate students. This grant supports the travel and registration of selected participants based on their need and expertise.
