This grant provides financial support for the 18th US National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM) to be held in Chicago, Illinois, June 5-9, 2018. USNCTAM is a premier gathering event for the theoretical and applied mechanics community that is held every four years under the auspices of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM). It fosters and promotes the exchange of ideas and information among the various disciplines of the theoretical and applied mechanics community around the world, and to chart future priorities in mechanics related research, applications, and education. This award will provide travel support as well as event support for students and young faculty, especially from underrepresented groups, such as minorities and women. Over a thousand attendees are expected to attend the congress.Consistent with the mission of the USNC/TAM, the congress organizers will: (1) provide partial travel support for undergraduate and graduate students and junior faculty to attend the meeting, and (2) organize two special events--the Young Investigator Career Development Workshop and the Women Researchers Networking Event, aimed at building communities. The organizers will reach out to historically black colleges and universities around the country as well as women and persons with disabilities in the field. The results of the meeting will be disseminated through the webpage of the USNC/TAM to its member societies and the engineering science community at large.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这笔赠款提供了第18届美国全国代表大会的理论和应用力学（USNCTAM）将在芝加哥，伊利诺伊州，2018年6月5日至9日举行的财政支持。USNCTAM是理论和应用力学界的首要聚会活动，每四年在美国国家理论和应用力学委员会（USNC/TAM）的主持下举行一次。它促进和促进世界各地的理论和应用力学界的各个学科之间的思想和信息交流，并制定未来力学相关研究，应用和教育的优先事项。该奖项将为学生和年轻教师提供旅行支持和活动支持，特别是来自少数民族和妇女等代表性不足的群体。与USNC/TAM的使命一致，大会组织者将：（1）为本科生、研究生和初级教师提供部分差旅支持，以参加会议;（2）组织两项特别活动--青年研究者职业发展研讨会和女性研究人员网络活动，旨在建立社区。组织者将接触全国各地历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及该领域的妇女和残疾人。会议的结果将通过USNC/TAM的网页传播给其成员学会和工程科学界。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
