项目摘要

This grant provides funding to support a workshop to assess the state-of-the-art and the future development in the field of Solid Mechanics, which has played a critical role to all engineering and technology disciplines. While serving as a corner stone of many novel applications in all engineering disciplines ranging from earthquake mitigation to energy conversion/storage systems, the field of Solid Mechanics has been revolutionized in the past two decades by the emergence of experimental and computational techniques to study the properties and behaviors of solids near atomic/molecular scales. The research areas addressed in the workshop will range from the mechanics of earthquake to thin film mechanics to mechanics of soft materials to cellular and molecular biomechanics. These subjects are of vital interests to the United States.This two-day workshop will enable young faculty members and graduate students to mingle with established researchers, learning the state-of-the-art of the field, discussing topical issues and projecting the future developments. The NSF funding will be used to support the participation of young faculty members and graduate students, especially those of women and minorities origin, as well as some of the most prominent scientists in the field. This will make available to young researchers the benefits of attending a high profile workshop in the field. A poster competition award will be established to encourage graduate students to discuss their work side by side with well-established researchers in the field.

该赠款提供了资金来支持研讨会，以评估固体力学领域的最新和未来发展，这对所有工程和技术学科都起着至关重要的作用。在作为从地震转换到能量转换/存储系统的所有工程学科中的许多新型应用中的一角石头中，在过去的二十年中，通过研究实验和计算技术的出现来研究固体的性质和行为，固体力学领域已彻底改变了固体/分子/分子尺度的特性和行为。研讨会中解决的研究领域的范围从地震的力学到薄膜力学，再到软材料的力学，再到细胞和分子生物力学。这些主题对美国具有至关重要的利益。这两天的研讨会将使年轻的教职员工和研究生与既定的研究人员交往，学习该领域的最新技术，讨论主题问题并预测未来的发展。 NSF的资金将用于支持年轻教职员工和研究生的参与，尤其是妇女和少数民族起源的学生以及该领域最杰出的科学家的参与。这将为年轻的研究人员提供参加该领域知名研讨会的好处。将建立一项海报竞赛奖，以鼓励研究生与该领域成熟的研究人员并肩讨论他们的工作。
