First Japan-U.S. Workshop on Testing, Modeling and Simulation in Geomechanics; Boston, MA; June 27-29, 2003

0240765，美国特拉华州大学的曾傑瑞·山室“首届日美地质力学测试、建模和仿真研讨会”这一行动为将于2003年6月27-29日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的首届日美地质力学测试、建模和仿真研讨会提供支持。这次会议是由美国土木工程师学会(G-I)和日本岩土学会(JGS)签署的合作协议发起的。该协议的目的是“促进和扩大技术、科学和专业知识的交流，以更好地服务于两国成员、工程专业人员和公众的利益和福利。”研讨会的目标是将日本和美国在地质力学的各个领域的顶尖研究人员聚集在一起，特别是实验、本构模型和数值模拟。来自日本和美国的研究人员将被邀请展示目前在各种主题上的相关研究活动，以表达共享知识的目的，以促进和建立两国之间的合作努力。将提出的主题具有广泛的当前兴趣，并被认为是最先进的。它们包括：固有的和应力系统引起的各向异性；高度非线性的应力-应变行为；小应变下的弹性应力-应变行为；峰值后的应力-应变行为；剪切带的力学；应变率、老化和粘性效应对应力-应变行为的影响；颗粒尺寸和级配对应力-应变行为的影响；循环加载获得的应力-应变行为和残余应变；土壤液化的力学；土壤动力学和用地球物理方法确定土壤行为。岩土材料的种类将仅限于未粘结和胶结的土壤。关于讲习班及其活动的信息将通过万维网传播。论文和摘要将张贴在本网站上，供一般人查阅，但特别是非参与者。将在讲习班前后通过电子邮件进行讨论，以获得反馈，并为今后的讲习班创造新的想法。研讨会的会议记录将以电子形式提供。

0240765, Jerry A. Yamamuro, U. of Delaware "First Japan-U.S. Workshop on Testing, Modeling and Simulation in Geomechanics"This action provides support for the First Japan-U.S. Workshop on Testing, Modeling and Simulation in Geomechanics, to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, June 27-29, 2003. This meeting was initiated by the signing of an Agreement of Cooperation between the American Society of Civil Engineers Geo-Institute (G-I) and the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS). The purpose of this agreement is to "promote and enlarge the exchange of technical, scientific and professional knowledge to better serve the interests and welfare of their members, the engineering profession in general, and the public in both countries."The goal of the Workshop is to bring together the top researchers from Japan and the United States in various fields of geomechanics, specifically experimentation, constitutive modeling, and numerical simulations. Researchers from Japan and the U.S. will be invited to present current relevant research activities on a variety of topics for the expressed purpose of sharing knowledge so as to foster and build cooperative efforts between the two countries.The topics that will be presented are of broad current interest, and are considered to be the state-of-the-art. They include: inherent and stress system-induced anisotropic properties; highly non-linear stress-strain behavior; elastic stress-strain behavior at small strains; post-peak stress-strain behavior; mechanics of shear banding; effects of strain rate, aging, and viscous effects on stress-strain behavior; effects of particle size and gradation on stress-strain behavior; stress-strain behavior and residual strains obtained from cyclic loading; mechanics of soil liquefaction; and soil dynamics and the determination of soil behavior using geophysical methods. The types of geomaterials will be limited to unbound and cemented soils.Information about the Workshop and its activities will be disseminated via the World Wide Web. Papers and abstracts will be posted on this website for general access, but, especially by non-participants. E-mail discussions before and after the Workshop will be implemented to obtain feedback and to create new ideas for future workshops. The proceedings of the workshop will be made available electronically.
