The Robert J. Melosh Symposium in Finite Element Analysis AbstractThe Melosh Medal Symposium is an internationally recognized student-paper competition in .nite-element analysis. This proposal is requesting funds to provide travelassistance to the student .nalists who will be selected by a distinguished panel of judgesin a double-blind format. With other funding that has been secured by Duke University,such assistance would allow all student expenses to be covered. In anticipationof this assistance opening up the applicant pool to a much broader class of students,promotional .yers will be sent to engineering and applied math programs at historicallyblack colleges and universities. A call for papers will also be placed in severaltop-notch research journals and in the Digest for the US Association for ComputationalMechanics, with particular emphasis placed on the availability of travel support. Thewinner will be selected on the basis of a combined paper/oral presentation score, andthe results of the Symposium will be widely disseminated on the web and local newsmedia.
