16th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM XVI); Virtual; July 25-29, 2021

该补助金为研究生和博士后学者提供注册支持，以参加将于2021年7月25日至29日举行的第16届美国全国计算力学大会（USNCCM16）。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，数学，生物学，制造，材料科学，纳米技术，高性能计算和数据科学的主题。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，参加职业活动，以及为专业前景进行网络。将为计算力学领域的女研究人员举办一次特别的网络活动。组委会将共同努力，鼓励来自代表性不足群体的学生和博士后参与整体体验。在USNCCM XVI，重点将是在各种科学和工程领域开发和应用新颖，最先进的计算模型和数值方法。本构行为，多物理现象，算法的进步，多尺度和数据驱动的方法，以及不确定性量化将通过一个广泛的计划涵盖在相当长的时间。所有会谈，包括全体会议和半全体会议，都将现场直播。学生和博士后研究人员将通过技术和特别海报会议的演示参与。计划与来自行业，学术界和政府实验室的专家进行小组讨论，以提供未来的方向和职业建议。USACM的女性研究人员小组（FRG）还将为女性研究人员组织一个关于女性在科学和工程领域的作用和贡献的小型对称奖，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 registration support for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to participate in the 16th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM16) that will be held virtually from July 25 to 29, 2021. 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, mathematics, biology, manufacturing, materials science, nanotechnology, high-performance computing, and data sciences. 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, attend career events, as well as conduct networking for professional prospects. There will be a special networking event for women researchers in computational mechanics. The organizing committee will make a concerted effort to encourage students and postdocs from underrepresented groups to participate in the overall experience.At USNCCM XVI, the focus will be on the development and applications of novel, state-of-the-art computational models and numerical methods in a wide variety of scientific and engineering fields. Constitutive behavior, multiphysics phenomena, algorithmic advances, multiscale and data-driven methods, and uncertainty quantification will be covered at substantial length through a wide-ranging program. All talks, including plenary and semi-plenary sessions, will be live streamed. Students and post-doctoral researchers will participate through presentations in technical and special poster sessions. A panel discussion is planned with experts from industry, academia, and government labs to provide future directions and career advice. The Female Researchers Group (FRG) of USACM will also organize a minisymposium for the women researchers on the role and contributions of women in sciences and engineering.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.
