AbstractThe ability to control wave and acoustic response by designing microarchitecture has led to the emergence of linear and nonlinear acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals. While there has been great and growing interest in this area, much of the research has been performed with little cooperation on a large or national scale, and with little input from major funding establishments. The timing of the field is such that a great need exists to bring together members of multiple research communities (dynamical systems, mechanics of materials, MEMs, mathematics, physics, and others) and program managers from major funding sources (National Science Foundation, Army Research Office, Office of Naval Research, and others) to identify needs and research directions. Recognizing this need, the investigators will hold an inaugural AmeriMech Symposium on the Dynamic Response of Periodic Materials and Structures at the Georgia Institute of Technology in April, 2014. The symposium aims to bring together 40-50 junior and senior researchers working on periodic materials and structures in order to a) share recent and emerging developments in periodic structures and materials (cellular/lattice materials, acoustic metamaterials, phononic crystals); b) identify areas requiring new developments in theory, manufacturing technologies, and applications; and c) gather input from program managers on promising applications of periodic structures that are driven by national needs. The symposium is anticipated to have broad impacts on national funding priorities and research directions in the area of periodic structures and materials. Participant presentations and panel discussions will be shared amongst a diverse audience of stakeholders with the intent purpose of identifying research needs, directions, and promising applications. The assistance of NSF funds will be targeted at broadening the participation of the symposium attendees to younger researchers (Assistant Professors and Postdoctoral Researchers), graduate students, and underrepresented groups via grants waiving the symposium registration fee and covering limited travel expenses. This funding will supplement funds already received from the National Academies' US National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM), and matching funds committed by Georgia Tech and the University of British Columbia. Highlights from the symposium will be shared in electronic format on a dedicated symposium web page and distributed widely to participants, colleagues, and via requests from other interested parties.

通过设计微结构来控制波和声学响应的能力导致了线性和非线性声学超材料和声子晶体的出现。虽然人们对这一领域的兴趣越来越大，但大部分研究都是在大规模或全国范围内合作很少的情况下进行的，主要供资机构的投入也很少。 该领域的时间是这样的，一个巨大的需要，汇集多个研究社区（动力系统，材料力学，MEMs，数学，物理学等）的成员和主要资金来源（国家科学基金会，陆军研究办公室，海军研究办公室等）的项目经理，以确定需求和研究方向。 认识到这一需求，研究人员将于2014年4月在格鲁吉亚理工学院举行首届AmeriMech研讨会，讨论周期性材料和结构的动态响应。 该研讨会旨在汇集40-50名从事周期性材料和结构研究的初级和高级研究人员，以便a）分享周期性结构和材料的最新和新兴发展（蜂窝/晶格材料、声学超材料、声子晶体）; B）识别需要理论、制造技术和应用的新发展的领域;以及c）从项目管理人员那里收集关于由国家需求驱动的周期性结构的有希望的应用的投入。 预计该研讨会将对周期性结构和材料领域的国家资助优先事项和研究方向产生广泛影响。 参与者的演讲和小组讨论将在利益相关者的不同观众中分享，目的是确定研究需求，方向和有前途的应用。 NSF资金的援助将旨在通过免除研讨会注册费和支付有限的差旅费，将研讨会与会者的参与扩大到年轻的研究人员（助理教授和博士后研究人员），研究生和代表性不足的群体。 这笔资金将补充已经从国家科学院的美国国家理论和应用力学委员会（USNCTAM）收到的资金，以及格鲁吉亚理工大学和不列颠哥伦比亚省大学承诺的配套资金。 专题讨论会的要点将在专题讨论会的专门网页上以电子格式分享，并广泛分发给与会者、同事，并应其他有关方面的要求分发。
