US-France Cooperative Research: Mesoscopics of Elastic and Seismic Waves

这个为期三年的美法合作研究奖涉及伊利诺伊大学和格勒诺布尔大学的研究人员和学生。美国的Richard L. Weaver和法国的Bart A. Van Tiggelen领导了这个关于弹性波和地震波介观的合作项目。他们将研究随机无序开放结构中的扩散弹性波。目的是探讨介观波现象的现代概念在地壳地震波中的适用性。该项目涉及实验室和/或现场和/或理论方面。学生将接受超声技术和地震测量方面的培训。美国研究者为这次合作带来了介观问题的专业知识，在超声扩散和非相干传输方面的工作。法国在光波和随机介质中的波方面的专门知识补充了这一点。该奖项代表了美国方面向国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）提出的平行提案。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国研究人员和研究生的旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持法国调查人员和研究生访问美国。

0230312WeaverThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research involves researchers and students at the University of Illinois and University of Grenoble. Richard L. Weaver in the US and Bart A. Van Tiggelen in France lead this cooperative project on the mesoscopics of elastic and seismic waves. They will investigate diffuse elastic waves in randomly disordered open structures. The objective is to explore the applicability of modern concepts in mesoscopic wave phenomena to seismic waves in the earth's crust. The project involves laboratory and/or field and/or theoretical aspects. Students will be trained in ultrasonic techniques and seismic measurements. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in mesoscopic issues, work on diffusion and incoherent transport of ultrasound. This is complemented by French expertise in optical waves, and waves in random media. This award represents the US side of parallel proposals to the NSF, and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigator and graduate students. CNRS will support visits by French investigators and graduate students to the United States.
