Workshop: Current Challenges in Mechanics and Materials; August 2005; Laramie, WY

摘要我们建议于2005年8月在怀俄明大学举办“力学与材料的当前挑战”研讨会。参与者名单包括来自美国和欧洲的研究人员，他们在力学/材料领域处于科学前沿[M&amp；M]。为期四天的研讨会将涉及四个主要主题：(a)生物材料力学，(b)生物力学的实验方法，(c)生物力学的理论与模拟，以及(d)研究与教育的展望。本次研讨会为交流思想和公开讨论提供了一个良好的环境，使研究人员能够展示最新的工作成果，从而进一步推动该领域的研究前沿。会议将成为展示怀俄明大学研究成果的机会；它还将允许学生与该领域一些最优秀的人才进行有价值的互动。

ABSTRACTWe propose to organize a workshop on "Current Challenges in Mechanics and Materials" at the University of Wyoming, in August 2005. The list of participants includes researchers from the US and Europe who are at the scientific forefront in the area of mechanics/materials [M&M].The four-day workshop will involve four major topics: (a) Mechanics of Biological Materials, (b) Experimental Methods in M&M, (c) Theory and Simulation in M&M, and (d) Perspectives on Research and Education.The proposed workshop provides an excellent environment for the exchange of ideas and open discussions that allow for the presentation of the researchers' latest work, augmenting efforts to advance the research frontiers in this field. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to showcase the research performed at the University of Wyoming; it will also permit a valuable interaction of students with some of the best minds in the field.
