Group Travel to Attend the Third International Conference on the Fundamentals of Fracture, Irsee, West Germany, June 21 -- 24, 1989

该基金为参加骨折科学和基本机制国际会议的选定美国科学家提供部分旅费支持。本次会议将汇集领先的科学家（以及刚刚进入该领域的年轻科学家），讨论断裂的基础材料科学，集中在裂纹尖端附近发生的过程。所代表的学科将包括力学、陶瓷、冶金、聚合物、化学和物理。美国科学家参加这次会议对于保持我们在这一重要领域的领导作用至关重要。

This grant provides partial support for the travel expenses of selected U.S. scientists attending an international conference on the science and basic mechanisms of fracture. This conference will bring together leading scientists (and young scientists just entering this field) to discuss the fundamental materials science of fracture, concentration on the processes occurring in the vicinity of a crack tip. Disciplines represented will include mechanics, ceramics, metallurgy, polymers, chemistry, and physics. Participation in this conference by U.S. scientists is vital for maintaining our leadership role in this important field.
