Workshop: Advanced Study Institute on Computational Methods for Engineering Analysis and Design, Madras, August 2-11, 1993, Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

说明：本提案要求支持六名美国科学家于1993年8月2日至11日前往位于马德拉斯的印度理工学院（IIT）的工程分析与设计计算方法高级研究所。组织者是印度理工学院的C.S. Krishnamoorthy和弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的J.N. Reddy。印度科技部是一个重要的赞助商，并将支持所有来自印度国内的受邀演讲者。其目的是让杰出的科学家就航空航天、民用、机械和制造业工程系统分析和设计的计算方法的最新进展进行详细的信息交流。诸如强大的数值工具的发展，人工智能在设计中的应用以及特殊建模技术的使用等进步都有助于工程设计作为一个专业领域的出现。在研究中，人们也越来越关注设计理论和设计过程模型的发展。研讨会的目的是综合和介绍工程系统分析和设计所需的最先进的计算方法。范围：研讨会应导致在分析建模，先进的计算方法和软件应用于几个工程学科的实际设计领域的知识和专业知识的有意义的交流。印度和美国的高级学者和执业工程师将审查该领域的发展，确定未来的研究和开发活动，并制定对美国和印度共同感兴趣的合作研究项目。研讨会的论文集将是一本最先进的出版物，有望对学术界和工业界的研究人员和实践者以及从事工程系统分析和设计的学生具有巨大的价值。

Description: This proposal requests support for the travel of six U.S. scientists to the Advanced Study Institute on Computational Methods for Engineering Analysis and Design, at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, August 2-11, 1993. The organizers are C.S. Krishnamoorthy, of IIT and J.N. Reddy, of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. India's Department of Science and Technology is a key sponsor and will support all invited speakers from within India. The purpose is to have a detailed exchange of information among prominent scientists on the most recent advances in computational methods for the analysis and design of engineering systems in aerospace, civil, mechanical, and manufacturing. Advances such as the development of powerful numerical tools, the application of artificial intelligence to design, and the use of special modeling techniques have contributed to the emergence of engineering design as an area of specializa- tion. In research, too, increasing attention is devoted to developing design theory and models for design processes. The workshop aims at synthesizing and presenting state-of-the art computational methods required for analysis and design of engineering systems. Scope: The workshop should lead to a meaningful exchange of knowledge and expertise in the areas of analytical modeling, advanced comput- ational methods and software for use in practical designs in several disciplines of engineering. High level academics and practicing engineers in India and the U.S. will review developments in the field, identify future research and development activities and formulate collaborative research projects of mutual interest to the U.S. and India. The proceedings of the workshop will be a state-of- the-art publication that can be expected to be of immense value to researchers and practitioners in academia and industry, and to students engaged in analysis and design of engineering systems.
