This grant provides support for the workshop entitled "Computational Mechanics Vision and Future Challenges", to be held on October 31-November 1, 2019 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Computational mechanics is a diverse field with different methodologies and techniques that are used to solve fundamental and important problems in various application areas. Because of the constant need for predictive computational modeling in both established and newly emerging research fields, computational mechanics plays a key role in many future scientific developments. However, it faces new challenges and opportunities from the rise to prominence of artificial intelligence, complex infrastructure, additive manufacturing as well as a newly urgent focus on health. This has created a significant need to identify the future challenges and research and educational opportunities facing the computational mechanics community in these areas. The objective of this workshop is to solicit and synthesize directions for computational mechanics research and education in the United States over the next decade and beyond. Funding from this grant will support planning activities, production of a report, and travel of invited participants.In this one-and-a-half-day workshop, leading experts across a wide cross-section of the computational mechanics community will convene in an interactive setting to discuss ways to address emerging challenges in the areas of data-driven modeling/machine learning, additive manufacturing, risk and uncertainty-based engineering, and medicine. We will ensure the participation of a diverse audience through various means, including specifically targeting women and underrepresented minorities and early career professionals, along with mid-career and senior faculty and representatives from industry and government, such that all stakeholders participate in the future directions of the computational mechanics community. The product of the workshop will be a report with recommendations for NSF and the larger computational mechanics field, which will be widely disseminated across the spectrum of academia, government, and industry.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.

这笔赠款为将于2019年10月31日至11月1日在密歇根州安娜堡的密歇根大学校区举行的题为《计算力学展望与未来挑战》的研讨会提供支持。计算力学是一个多种多样的领域，有不同的方法和技术，用来解决不同应用领域中的基本和重要问题。由于在已建立的和新兴的研究领域对预测计算建模的持续需求，计算力学在未来的许多科学发展中发挥着关键作用。然而，由于人工智能、复杂的基础设施、添加剂制造以及对健康的新的迫切关注，它面临着新的挑战和机遇。这就产生了确定计算机械界在这些领域面临的未来挑战以及研究和教育机会的重大需要。该研讨会的目的是为美国未来十年及以后的计算力学研究和教育征集和综合方向。这笔赠款的资金将用于支持计划活动、报告的制作和受邀参与者的旅行。在这个为期一天半的研讨会中，计算力学社区广泛领域的领先专家将在互动的环境中聚集在一起，讨论如何应对数据驱动建模/机器学习、加法制造、基于风险和不确定性的工程以及医学领域的新挑战。我们将通过各种方式确保不同受众的参与，包括专门针对女性和代表性不足的少数群体和早期职业专业人员，以及职业生涯中期和高级教师以及来自行业和政府的代表，以便所有利益相关者参与计算力学社区的未来方向。研讨会的成果将是一份报告，其中包含对NSF和更大的计算力学领域的建议，将在学术界、政府和工业界广泛传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
