Workshop: Numerical Modeling of Earthquake Source Dynamics, Slovak Republic, August 31 through September 3, 2003

国家科学基金会奖（EAR-0314367）将为研究人员参加2003年8月31日至9月3日在斯洛伐克共和国斯摩列尼斯城堡（Bratislava附近）举行的“震源动力学数值模拟”研讨会提供部分旅费支持。研讨会的目的是汇集来自美国、亚洲和欧洲的各种研究人员，他们使用数值模拟来研究震源动力学，交流地震动力学研究的最新进展，为深入讨论提供一个独特的机会。为期三天的会谈和讨论将涵盖与地震动力学相关的所有主题：断层上的初始应力分布，破裂的成核，破裂传播，摩擦规律，破裂停止，应力降和缩放，断层几何形状，材料非均质性，断层相互作用，能量收支和地震辐射，数值技术，模拟真实地震。斯洛伐克科学院和夸美纽斯大学将主办这次国际讲习班。它由一个指导委员会组织：Ralph Archuleta，主席，加州大学圣巴巴拉分校，圣巴巴拉，加利福尼亚州，美国；Michel Bouchon，法国格勒诺布尔约瑟夫傅立叶大学；Irikura小二郎，京都大学，京都，日本；Raul Madariaga，高等师范学院，巴黎，法国；Peter Moczo，布拉迪斯拉发夸美纽斯大学和斯洛伐克科学院，布拉迪斯拉发，斯洛伐克共和国。

The NSF award (EAR-0314367) will provide partial travel support for researchers to attend the workshop on "Numerical Modeling of Earthquake Source Dynamics" to be held at the Smolenice Castle (near Bratislava), Slovak Republic, August 31 - September 3, 2003. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together the various researchers from the United States, Asia and Europe who use numerical simulations to investigate dynamics of the earthquake source, to communicate the state-of-the-art of the earthquake dynamics research, to provide a unique opportunity for in-depth discussions. The three days of talks and discussion will cover a full range of topics related to earthquake dynamics: initial stress distributions on the fault, nucleation of the rupture, rupture propagation, friction laws, rupture arrests, stress drops and scaling, fault geometry, material heterogeneity, fault interaction, energy budget and seismic radiation, numerical techniques, simulating real earthquakes.The Slovak Academy of Sciences and Comenius University will be hosts for this international workshop. It is organized by a steering committee: Ralph Archuleta, Chairman, University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California, USA; Michel Bouchon, Universite Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France; Kojiro Irikura, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, Raul Madariaga, Ecole Normale Superiere, Paris, France; Peter Moczo, Comenius University, Bratislava, and Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic.
