13th World Congress in Computational Mechanics; New York, New York; July 22-27, 2018

该基金将为第13届世界计算力学大会提供资金支持，该大会将于2018年7月22日至27日在纽约市与第二届泛美计算力学大会联合举行。在自1986年以来成功举办的前几届世界大会的基础上，WCCM2018是分享和传播计算力学领域最新科学和工程进展的主要论坛。计算力学是数值方法和数字计算机的发展和应用，以理解和利用自然资源为目标，解决工程和应用科学中面临的问题。虽然计算固体力学（CSM）和计算流体力学（CFD）是计算力学的传统核心领域，但热力学、电磁学、刚体力学、控制系统和粒子物理等学科也属于该定义的范围。WCCM2018将汇集研究人员、专业人士和工程师，促进丰富的讨论和互动，旨在突出全球范围内WCCM的重要进展。极大地鼓励学生参与，让学生接触到WCCM的最新进展，从而帮助培养该领域的下一代领导者。本次会议对所有感兴趣的个人开放，包括来自研究、政府、工业和教育专业的与会者。这笔资金将用于支持研究生、早期职业研究人员和工程领域女性论坛的旅行，并积极关注未被充分代表的群体参与。从车辆碰撞模拟到油藏建模再到增材制造，WCCM已经为多个学科带来了革命性的变化。WCCM2018将考虑的关键主题领域包括：(1)计算生物科学(2)计算材料科学(3)计算数学(4)计算工程与设计，(5)高性能计算，(6)验证，验证和不确定性量化，(7)工程领域女性论坛，(8)学生海报竞赛和(9)全球网络倡议。这次世界大会将包括超过1000个报告，包括四个并行会议，其中包括一个特别研讨会，探讨计算力学中更大多样性的扩大参与。该计划旨在最大限度地发挥建模者、应用数学家、实验家和工程师之间的互动，并在信息广度和讨论深度以及互动机会之间提供平衡；来自学术界、政府和工业界的各类机构都将出席。WCCM2018将尝试提供经验最多样化的会议，包括高级和初级研究人员，博士后学员和学生。将特别鼓励和支持少数群体的参与。

This grant provides financial support for the conference entitled the 13th World Congress of Computational Mechanics to be held jointly with the 2nd Pan American Congress of Computational Mechanics from July 22-27, 2018 in New York City. Building on the success of previous World Congresses since 1986, WCCM2018 is the premier forum for sharing and dissemination of the latest scientific and engineering advances in the field of computational mechanics. Computational Mechanics is the development and application of numerical methods and digital computers to the solution of problems faced in engineering and applied science with the objectives of understanding and harnessing the resources of nature. While Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are at the traditional core areas of computational mechanics, subjects such as Thermodynamics, Electro-Magnetism, Rigid Body Mechanics, Control Systems, and Particle Physics also fall within the scope of the definition. WCCM2018 will bring together researchers, professionals, and engineers in a setting which facilitates rich discussions and interactions, and aims to highlight the important advances in WCCM on a global scale. Student participation is greatly encouraged to give the students exposure to recent advances in WCCM, and thus help prepare the next generation of leaders in this field. This meeting is open to all interested individuals, including a mixture of attendees from research, government, industry, and educational professions. Funding from this grant will support the travel of graduate students, early career researchers, and the Forum for Women in Engineering, with active focus on underrepresented group participation. WCCM has helped to revolutionize multiple disciplines, ranging from vehicle crash simulation to petroleum reservoir modeling to additive manufacturing. The key topical areas that will be considered at WCCM2018 include: (1) computational biological science (2) computational material science (3) computational mathematics (4) computational engineering and design, (5) high performance computing, (6) verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification, (7) forum for women in engineering, (8) student poster competition and (9) networking initiatives worldwide. This world congress will include over 1000 presentations comprising four concurrent sessions, including a special symposium that explores the broadening participation of greater diversity in computational mechanics. The program has been designed to maximize interaction among modelers, applied mathematicians, experimentalists and engineers and provide a balance between breadth of information and depth of discussion and interaction opportunities; various types of institutions across academia, government, and industry will be represented. WCCM2018 will attempt to provide the most experientially diverse meeting possible, with a mixture of senior and junior investigators, post-doctoral trainees and students. Participation from minority groups will be particularly encouraged and supported.
