This grant provides partial for support for participants at the 2012 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Solid State Studies in Ceramics: New Insights and New Paradigms for Fracture and Deformation in Ceramics, to be held August 12-17, 2012 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA. The biennial conference focuses on topics at the leading edge of ceramics research; in 2012, this GRC will focus on research frontiers in ceramics with respect to fracture and deformation of ceramics, including exploration of new theories and computational and experimental approaches that push the boundaries of our understanding mechanical behavior of ceramics and the behavior of technical and structural ceramics under unique or extreme environments. Applications in which such knowledge is critical include failure prevention in ceramics for energy applications, such as in electrochemical cells for fuel cell and battery applications, new designs to withstand high temperature environments such as hypersonic flight, innovative methods to fabricate high strength ceramics for structural applications using low cost materials or low energy-consuming routes, novel approaches to using ultralight porous ceramics, and applications to fracture of brittle material in biology, human health, and anthropology. Technical ceramics are used in a wide range of everyday applications, from oxygen sensors in our cars to bone replacements in our bodies to streetlights in our neighborhood.The aim of this conference is to better understand why and how fracture and deformation occur in technical ceramics so that failure can be prevented. The Gordon Research Conferences are unique in that they focus on work in progress, encouraging speculation and extensive discussion of new concepts. By disseminating new insights from theory and experiment, considering both basic materials and applications, it is hoped that the understanding and evaluation of future directions for this field will be enhanced. This GRC comingles eminent researchers, junior investigators, and students and provides a unique forum for the exchange of ideas and the development of new collaborations among all participants. This NSF grant will be used to defray conference expenses for junior researchers who otherwise would be unable to attend due to a lack of funds, with an emphasis on support of women and underrepresented minorities.

该补助金为参加2012年戈登研究会议（GRC）陶瓷固态研究的参与者提供部分支持：陶瓷断裂和变形的新见解和新范式，将于2012年8月12日至17日在美国马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行。 两年一次的会议重点关注陶瓷研究前沿的主题; 2012年，这个GRC将专注于陶瓷的断裂和变形方面的研究前沿，包括探索新的理论和计算和实验方法，推动我们理解陶瓷的机械行为以及技术和结构陶瓷在独特或极端环境下的行为。 这些知识至关重要的应用包括用于能源应用的陶瓷中的故障预防，例如用于燃料电池和电池应用的电化学电池中的故障预防，承受高温环境例如高超音速飞行的新设计，使用低成本材料或低能耗路线制造用于结构应用的高强度陶瓷的创新方法，使用超轻多孔陶瓷的新方法，以及在生物学、人类健康和人类学中脆性材料断裂的应用。 从汽车中的氧传感器到人体内的骨替代物，再到我们社区的路灯，技术陶瓷在日常生活中的应用范围非常广泛。本次会议的目的是更好地了解技术陶瓷为什么会发生断裂和变形，以及如何发生断裂和变形，从而防止失效。 戈登研究会议的独特之处在于，他们专注于正在进行的工作，鼓励猜测和广泛讨论新概念。 通过传播理论和实验的新见解，考虑基础材料和应用，希望加强对该领域未来方向的理解和评估。 这个GRC汇集了杰出的研究人员，初级研究人员和学生，并为所有参与者之间的思想交流和新合作的发展提供了一个独特的论坛。 这笔国家科学基金会赠款将用于支付初级研究人员的会议费用，否则他们将无法参加由于缺乏资金，重点是支持妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。
