Travel Support: 15th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM XV); Austin, Texas; July 28-August 1, 2019

该补助金为研究生和博士后学者提供旅行支持，以参加将于2019年7月28日至8月1日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第15届美国全国计算力学大会（USNCCM XV）。USNCCM自1991年以来一直是美国计算力学协会（USACM）的首要活动。两年一度的活动吸引了广泛的国际和美国观众，涵盖计算科学的广泛方面，包括流体力学和固体力学，计算数学，生物学，制造，材料科学，纳米技术和高性能计算的主题。来自工业界、政府实验室和学术界的研究人员和专业人士将出席会议。通过这笔赠款，学生和博士后研究人员将接触到计算科学和力学的最新发展。他们还将有机会展示他们的研究，并为专业前景进行网络。组委会将通过旅行奖励，鼓励少数民族学生和博士后参与到整体体验中来。在USNCCM XV上，演讲的重点将是在纳米技术、材料、制造、生物工程和地质力学等广泛领域开发和应用新颖的、最先进的计算模型和数值方法。这些领域的本构行为、多尺度方法和多物理现象将通过70多个小型研讨会进行大量讨论。与NSF保持密切联系？的关于利用数据革命的大想法，基于物理的建模和数据驱动/机器学习方法的交叉将是8个小型研讨会的主要主题。预计将在会议上发表1000多篇演讲。由补助金支持的学生和博士后学者将有机会展示他们的研究并进行网络交流。将为专题介绍提供两个论坛：技术会议和海报竞赛。此外，还计划与来自学术界、政府实验室和工业界的代表进行全体小组讨论，以获得专业发展和职业建议。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。

This grant provides travel support for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to participate in the 15th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM XV) to be held in Austin, Texas, from July 28 to August 1, 2019. USNCCM has been the premier event of the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) since 1991. The biennial event attracts a wide international and US audience covering broad aspects of computational sciences, including topics of fluid mechanics and solid mechanics, computational mathematics, biology, manufacturing, materials science, nanotechnology and high-performance computing. The conference will be attended by researchers and professionals from industry, governmental laboratories, and academia. Through this grant, the students and post-doctoral researchers will be exposed to the state-of-the-art developments in computational sciences and mechanics. They will also be given opportunities to present their research as well as conduct networking for professional prospects. The organizing committee will make a concerted effort to encourage underrepresented minority students and postdocs to participate in the overall experience through travel awards.At USNCCM XV, the focus of the presentations will be on the development and applications of novel, state-of-the-art computational models and numerical methods in a wide variety of fields, including nanotechnology, materials, manufacturing, bioengineering, and geomechanics. Constitutive behavior, multiscale methods and multiphysics phenomena in these fields will be covered at substantial length through more than 70 mini-symposia that will be held. In a close alignment with NSF?s Big Idea on Harnessing the Data Revolution, the intersection of physics-based modeling and data-driven/machine learning approaches will be a major theme covered by 8 mini-symposia. More than 1000 presentations are expected to be delivered at the conference. The students and postdoctoral scholars supported by the grant will find opportunities to present their research as well as conduct networking. Two forums will be provided for the presentations: technical sessions and a poster contest. Additionally, a plenary panel discussion is also planned with representatives from academia, government laboratories, and industry for professional development and career advice.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.
