Travel Support to Eighth International Conference on Fracture, ICF8, to be held in Kiev, Ukraine, 8-14 June 1993

这笔拨款用于部分支持参加将于1993年6月8日至14日在乌克兰基辅举行的第八届国际骨折会议（ICF8）的旅费，该会议将由17名美国工程师和科学家组成，他们将作为全体会议和主题演讲嘉宾参加会议。会议将提供一个论坛，向主要工作者介绍骨折领域的最新研究成果。这是自1965年开始的一系列此类会议中的第八次会议。它们每四年在世界不同地点举行一次，由著名的研究人员参加。这些人在会议上的聚集将使个人相互作用成为可能，这将提供信息和想法的交流，并可能形成新的研究小组。会议的会议记录将予以出版，因此将作为重要的档案资源提供，供工程、科学和技术界今后使用。

This grant is for partial support for travel to the Eighth International Conference on Fracture, ICF8, to be held in Kiev, Ukraine, 8-14 June 1993 by a group of seventeen U.S. engineers and scientists who will participate in the Conference as plenary and keynote speakers. The Conference will provide a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art research findings in the area of fracture to an audience of leading workers. It is the eight in a series of such Conferences that started in 1965. They are held once every four years at different locations in the world, and are attended by eminent researchers. The gathering of these individuals at the Conference will allow for personal interactions that will provide exchange of information and ideas, and the possible formation of new research groups. Proceedings of the Conference will be published and will thus be available as an important archival resource for future use by the engineering, science and technology communities.
