Workshop on Material Instabilities to be held on October 7-8, 1995, Sacramento, California

该提案部分支持1995年秋季举行的为期两天的材料不稳定性密集研讨会。研讨会将汇集知名专家讨论基本思想，总结该领域最新的理论和实验进展。研讨会将涵盖固体金属和聚合物，颗粒介质和颗粒悬浮液，粘弹性聚合物溶液和熔体。会议将在流变学学会会议之前举行，以确保广泛的兴趣和增加感兴趣的研究人员的出席。

ABSTRACT U of Cal San Diego Joe D. Godard CTS-9510122 The proposal is to partially support an intensive two-day workshop on Material Instabilities in the Fall of 1995. The workshop will bring together established experts to discuss basic ideas and summarize recent theoretical and experimental advances in the field. The workshop will cover solid metals and polymers, granular media and particulate suspensions, and viscoelastic polymer solutions and melts. The meeting will be just prior to the Society of Rheology Conference to assure wide interest and increase attendance by interested researchers.
