Probabilistic Mechanics Conference

摘要本活动将促进研究生和青年研究人员参加第九届ASCE概率方法专业会议（PMC04）。会议将于2004年7月26日至28日在阿尔伯克基新墨西哥州举行。特别是10名学生的旅费、住宿费和会议注册费将由这项活动承担。智力优点概率力学在分析表现出多尺度和多物理场行为的复杂系统中越来越重要。PMC04会议为在工程力学背景下培育和发展这些想法提供了一个独特的论坛。会议在传统的工程领域，如风能，地震和海上工程，以及更前沿的领域，如纳米力学，不确定性下的优化和复杂系统的风险管理。预计约有250名与会者将在这次会议上介绍他们的工作。更广泛的影响将特别注意将少数民族和妇女纳入该赠款支持的与会者群体。该活动的更广泛影响包括为年轻研究人员提供参加概率方法国际会议的机会。这将使这些研究人员接触到当前这一日益重要的科学和工程分支的思想和方法的多样性。

AbstractThe proposed activity will facilitate the participation of graduate students andyoung researchers in the 9th ASCE Specialty Conference on Probabilistic Methods(PMC04). The Conference will be held in Albuquerque New Mexico on July26-28 2004. In particular travel expenses, accommodations and conference registrationfees for ten students will be covered by this activity.Intellectual MeritsProbabilistic mechanics is increasingly becoming more significant in the analysisof complex systems exhibiting multiscale and multiphysics behavior. ThePMC04 Conference provides a unique forum for the nurturing and developmentof these ideas in the context of engineering mechanics. Sessions are beingorganized both in traditional areas of engineering such as wind, earthquakeand offshore engineering as well as in more cutting edge areas such as nanomechanics,optimization under uncertainty, and risk management of complexsystems. It is expected that about 250 participants will take present their workat this meeting.Broader ImpactSpecial attention will be given to the inclusion of minorities and women in thegroup of participants supported by this grant. The broader impact of the proposedactivity consists of providing young researchers with the opportunity toparticipate in the premier international conference on probabilistic methods.This will expose these researchers to the diversity of current thinking and approachesfor this increasingly important branch of science and engineering.
