Attendees at the 2010 Robert J. Melosh Medal SymposiumAbstractThe Melosh Medal Symposium is an internationally recognized graduate student-paper competition in finite-element analysis that is currently in its twenty-second year. A distinguished panel of judges selects the finalists that compete in the event, through a double-blind format. The objectives of this project are to increase access to the Symposium as well as its visibility for a much broader set of participants than in previous years. This will be effected by providing travel assistance to all participants, including the finalists, the judges, and additional students identified as honorable mentions through the review process. In anticipation of this assistance opening up the applicant pool to a much broader class of students, promotional flyers will be sent to engineering programs at historically black colleges and universities. A call for papers will also be placed on the web at iMechanica, with particular emphasis placed on the availability of travel support. The winner will be selected on the basis of a combined paper/oral presentation score, and the results of the Symposium will be widely disseminated on the web and local news media.The benefits of this project are largely educational in nature. The Melosh Symposium is the only competition of its kind in the area of computational mechanics. It provides a unique opportunity for top graduate students in engineering to interact with leading scholars in their field, and is completely separate from any technical conferences.

摘要Melosh奖章研讨会是一项国际公认的有限元分析研究生论文竞赛，目前已经举办了22年。一个杰出的评委小组通过双盲的形式选择参加比赛的决赛选手。这个项目的目标是增加参加专题讨论会的机会，并使比往年更广泛的参与者了解专题讨论会。为实现这一目标，将向所有参赛者提供旅行援助，包括决赛选手、评委和通过审查过程获得优秀奖的其他学生。预计这项援助将为更广泛的学生打开申请渠道，因此将向传统黑人学院和大学的工程专业发送宣传传单。论文征集也将在iMechanica网站上发布，特别强调旅行支持的可用性。获奖者将根据论文/口头报告的综合得分选出，研讨会的结果将在网上和当地新闻媒体上广泛传播。这个项目的好处主要是教育性的。Melosh研讨会是计算力学领域唯一的同类竞赛。它为工程领域的顶尖研究生提供了一个独特的机会，与他们领域的顶尖学者进行互动，并且完全独立于任何技术会议。
