This grant is in partial support of the Gordon Research conference (GRC) on Thin Film and Small Scale Mechanical Behavior to be held July 24-29, 2016, at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. This week-long meeting will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on the same topic, July 23-24, 2016. The GRS promotes the inclusion and participation of younger researchers (graduate students and postdoctoral scientists), both in their own GRS forum and also at the GRC meeting afterwards. Both the GRS and the GRC will focus on the small scale behavior of materials, with an emphasis on the tools used to measure and study behavior at these scales. The conference and seminar are immersive and interactive. A broad impact on knowledge dissemination, stimulation of new research and cooperation is expected, particularly for young scientists.This GRC will explore how micromechanical measurements can be combined with complementary techniques for materials characterization at the same length-scales, to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of mechanical behavior of materials. Furthermore, by recognizing that the mechanical response of bulk materials is mediated by mechanisms and microstructures at the nanometer and micron length-scales, the importance of bridging small scale observations to macro-scale predictions will be emphasized.

这笔赠款是对将于2016年7月24-29日在缅因州刘易斯顿贝茨学院举行的戈登薄膜和小规模机械行为研究会议(GRC)的部分支持。在这次为期一周的会议之前，戈登研究研讨会(GRS)将于2016年7月23日至24日举行，主题相同。GRS促进年轻研究人员(研究生和博士后科学家)的纳入和参与，无论是在他们自己的GRS论坛上，还是在GRC之后的会议上。GRS和GRC都将专注于材料的小尺度行为，重点是用于测量和研究这些尺度上的行为的工具。会议和研讨会是身临其境和互动的。预计将对知识传播、新的研究和合作产生广泛的影响，特别是对年轻科学家。本GRC将探索如何将微观机械测量与材料表征的补充技术在相同的长度-尺度上相结合，以促进对材料力学行为的全面了解。此外，通过认识到块状材料的机械响应是由纳米和微米尺度上的机制和微观结构调节的，将强调将小规模观测与宏观预测联系起来的重要性。
