Symposium on "Dynamic Failure Mechanics of Modern Materials"

这笔赠款是为了资助将于1993年11月18-20日在加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市加州理工学院举行的现代材料动态失效力学研讨会的部分资金。研讨会将允许向来自学术界、政府实验室和工业界的这一新兴领域最杰出和最活跃的工作者展示现代材料动态失效力学领域的最新研究成果。这一领域在范围上不同于失效力学的其他分支，它侧重于细观力学和材料特性，以及动态失效的宏观和微观力学方面的相互作用。还将对现有的高速记录方法及其预测的准确性进行关键评估。

This grant is for the partial support of a symposium on dynamic failure mechanics of modern materials to be held during November 18-20, 1993 at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA. The symposium will allow the presentation of state-of-the- art research findings in the area of dynamic failure mechanics of modern materials to the most outstanding and active workers in that emerging field from academe, government laboratories and industry. This field differs in scope from other branches of failure mechanics by placing a heavy emphasis on micromechanics and material characterization, and the interaction between macro and micro mechanical aspects of dynamic failure. A critical assessment will also be made of the existing high speed recording methods and the accuracy of their predictions.
