This grant provides travel support for the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling, which will be held at the Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 19-22, 2020. The conference will be jointly hosted by George Mason University, Georgetown University, and the University of Maryland. Multiscale materials modeling (MMM) is a branch of computational mechanics, computational biomechanics, and computational materials science in which existing and emerging methods from interdisciplinary fields are combined to bridge phenomena, which are inherent to complex material systems, across different length and time scales. MMM provides direct insights on how materials (or living matter) deform and/or adapt their form and function in response to different mechanical, electrical, magnetic, or environmental exciters, and trace this to material structure and molecular (or cellular) level mechanisms. MMM is also indispensable for expediting the development and manufacturing of reliable materials with superior performance by moving away from empirical trial-and-error techniques, to state-of-the-art and experimentally verified multi-scale computational methods. This grant will help to considerably subsidize travel costs, through scholarships, for 50 graduate students and 25 junior researchers, with emphasis on under-representative groups, to participate, showcase their work, as well as interact with leaders in the MMM community who regularly attend this conference. These travel fellowships will also help promote/highlight NSF-funded research focused on MMM.This four-day conference brings together researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry from across the globe with interdisciplinary research backgrounds in mechanics, biomechanics and mechanobiology, materials, advanced manufacturing, and computational mechanics and sciences to share new advancements in the field and identify existing and future challenges. Each day there will be an hour-long plenary session, two 45 minutes semi-plenary sessions, and 5.5 hours of 9 to 13 parallel technical sessions. Each technical session will be composed of multiple 20 minutes contributed presentations and 30 minutes invited presentations. There will also be two separate evening poster sessions in which a student poster competition will be held. The outcome of this conference will be disseminated in the form of several peer reviewed journal special issues that would feature several conference articles.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.

该补助金为第10届多尺度材料建模国际会议提供旅行支持，该会议将于2020年10月19日至22日在马里兰州巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯大学校园举行。会议将由乔治梅森大学、乔治敦大学、马里兰州大学联合主办。多尺度材料建模（MMM）是计算力学、计算生物力学和计算材料科学的一个分支，它将跨学科领域的现有方法和新兴方法结合起来，跨越不同的长度和时间尺度来桥接复杂材料系统所固有的现象。MMM提供了关于材料（或生命物质）如何变形和/或适应其形式和功能以响应不同的机械，电，磁或环境激励器的直接见解，并将其追溯到材料结构和分子（或细胞）水平机制。MMM对于加快开发和制造具有上级性能的可靠材料也是必不可少的，它从经验试错技术转向最先进的和实验验证的多尺度计算方法。这笔赠款将有助于通过奖学金为50名研究生和25名初级研究人员提供相当大的差旅费补贴，重点是代表性不足的群体，参加，展示他们的工作，以及与经常参加这次会议的MMM社区领导人互动。这次为期四天的会议汇集了来自学术界，国家实验室和工业界的研究人员，来自地球仪，具有力学，生物力学和机械生物学，材料，先进制造，计算力学和科学的跨学科研究背景，分享该领域的新进展，并确定现有和未来的挑战。每天将有一个小时的全体会议，两个45分钟的半全体会议，和5.5小时的9至13个平行的技术会议。每场技术会议将包括多个20分钟的贡献演讲和30分钟的邀请演讲。此外，还将举行两个独立的晚上海报会议，其中将举行学生海报比赛。本次会议的成果将以几份同行评审期刊特刊的形式传播，其中将刊登几篇会议文章。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的知识价值进行评估，被认为值得支持影响审查标准。
