Graduate Student Travel to EM?08 Inaugural InternationalConference of the ASCE Mechanics InstituteRoberto Ballarini, Bojan Guzina and Steve WojtkiewiczAbstract The proposed research involves bringing together mechanicians from diverse fields to present and discuss the most recent advances in mechanics, and to identify the role of mechanics in enabling future advances in technology. The venue will be the Inaugural International Conference of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Mechanics Institute (EM08). This conference will be distinctive in that the organizers have expanded the participation of previously held ASCE mechanics (which focused for the most part on solid and structural mechanics) to include fluid mechanicians (thus re-uniting two fields that some argue have been divorced for many years), physicists, mathematicians, medical researchers, and representatives from industry. Participants from around the world have committed to presenting research on modern topics such as multi-scale modeling of synthetic and advanced materials, stochastic mechanics, biological structures, stream restoration, large-scale geological processes, and cancer detection. The intellectual level of the conference will set the bar for future mechanics meetings. The graduate student travel funds requested will enable the participation of sixteen of the brightest graduate students from across the United States. These students will present their research to world-class academics and researchers, they will learn about the most recent advances in mechanics, and they will be inspired to continue working in and contributing to the field. The students? participation will also facilitate cross-pollination between students from different fields. The EM08 forum will help cultivate an environment that allows for the anticipation of, and adaptation to new challenges that engineers face thereby facilitating professional growth to ensure the challenges are met.

研究生去新兴市场旅游？2008年美国力学协会力学研究所首届国际会议oberto Ballarini， Bojan Guzina和Steve wojtkiewicz摘要提议的研究涉及将来自不同领域的力学家聚集在一起，介绍和讨论力学的最新进展，并确定力学在推动未来技术进步中的作用。地点将是美国土木工程师学会（ASCE）力学学会（EM08）首届国际会议。这次会议的独特之处在于，组织者扩大了以前举行的ASCE力学（主要关注固体和结构力学）的参与范围，包括流体力学家（从而重新统一了一些人认为已经分离多年的两个领域）、物理学家、数学家、医学研究人员和工业界代表。来自世界各地的与会者致力于展示现代主题的研究，如合成和先进材料的多尺度建模、随机力学、生物结构、河流恢复、大规模地质过程和癌症检测。这次会议的学术水平将为今后的机械会议树立标杆。所要求的研究生旅行基金将使来自美国各地的16名最聪明的研究生能够参加。这些学生将向世界一流的学者和研究人员展示他们的研究成果，他们将了解力学的最新进展，他们将受到启发，继续在该领域工作并做出贡献。的学生吗?参与还将促进来自不同领域的学生之间的交流。2008年机电工程师论坛将有助于营造一个环境，使工程师能够预见和适应面临的新挑战，从而促进专业发展，确保迎接挑战。
