Workshop on Energy Transport and Control in Solids and Structures; University of Rome "La Sapienza"; 2010

多年来，在理解结构内的波传播和能量传输机制方面已经取得了相当大的进展。特别是，出现了新的方法来估计振动能量吸收的复杂结构，如管道，泵等，在潜艇或建筑物内连接的组件。近年来，一些研究开始出现在设计系统的方法上，使得振动能量可以被引导到结构的特定部分，在那里可以根据需要被捕获和耗散。据观察，其中一些方法的基本原理在纳米材料和物理学界是共同的，在这些领域，考虑了诸如设计材料以捕获能量或改变光的方向等应用，本项目提议举办一个讲习班，使从事结构中波能传输的不同界的专家聚集一堂，审查进展情况，交换意见，并讨论研究需要，方向和机会。特别令人感兴趣的是在复杂结构中的跨尺度波传播，先进材料的设计，以及复杂结构中波传播的新方法的发展方面的进展。 讲习班将由罗马La Sapienza大学主办，协办方已与该大学预约。在讲习班之前将进行前期准备工作，包括编写具体的书面材料，这些材料将汇编成册，出版发行。

Considerable advances have been made over the years in understanding wave propagation and energy transport mechanisms within structures. In particular, new methods emerged to estimate vibratory energy absorption by components attached within a complex structure, such as pipes, pumps, and such, within a submarine or building. In recent years, several studies started to appear on methods to design systems such that vibratory energy can be channeled to specific parts of the structure where it can be trapped and dissipated, as desired. It is observed that the underlying fundamentals of some of these approaches are common to nano-materials and physics communities, where applications such as designing materials to trap energy or change the direction of light are considered.This project proposes to hold a workshop to bring together experts from different communities working on wave energy transport in structures to review advances, exchange views, and discuss research needs, directions and opportunities. Of particular interest are advances in wave propagation across scales in complex structures, design of advanced materials, and development of new methodologies for wave propagation in complex structures. The workshop will be hosted by the University of Rome La Sapienza where the co-organizer has an appointment. The workshop will be preceded by advanced preparation including preparation of specific written material, which will be compiled in a book form to be published for dissemination.
