AmeriMech Symposium: Mechanical Behavior of 2D Materials (Graphene and Beyond); Austin, Texas; April 4-6, 2016

这笔赠款为将于2016年4月4日至6日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的关于2D材料(石墨烯及更高)的机械行为的ameriMech研讨会提供资金支持。本次ameriMech研讨会将汇集对2D材料的力学行为感兴趣的实验和理论研究人员，以便全面了解最新技术，并为未来的研究制定路线图。低维材料在先进技术中发挥着越来越重要的作用。这些材料的变形和破坏力学已经被材料力学和结构界公认为一个极具挑战性的问题，无论是从计算上预测还是在实验上测量都是如此。这次研讨会将汇集低维材料领域的领先研究人员。较长的陈述时间，加上每天结束时的大量讨论时间，将促进与会者之间有意义的交流，并为制定未来研究和合作路线图奠定基础。

This grant provides funding support for the AmeriMech Symposium on Mechanical Behavior of 2D Materials (Graphene and Beyond) to be held in Austin, Texas from April 4-6, 2016. This AmeriMech Symposium will bring together experimental and theoretical researchers interested in the mechanical behavior of 2D materials in order to develop a comprehensive view of the state of the art, and develop a roadmap for future research.Low-dimensional materials play an increasingly critical role in advanced technologies. The mechanics of deformation and failure of these materials have been recognized by the mechanics of materials and structures community as an extremely challenging problem, both to predict computationally and to measure experimentally. This symposium will bring together leading researchers in the field of low dimensional materials. The longer presentation times, coupled with a substantial discussion period at the end of each day will foster meaningful exchanges between participants and lay the groundwork for the development of a roadmap for future research and collaborations.
