USACM Workshop on Computational Nanomechanics of Materials; April 29-30, 2004; Chicago, IL

研讨会将汇集处理离散(原子论)和连续体(PDE)现象的不同计算机械师。这两个社区的顶尖专家将就纳米级单晶的力学、纳米结构(纳米颗粒、纳米管和纳米管)的力学以及纳米-微观-宏观尺度之间的桥梁问题进行深入的演讲。这些讲座将使初级研究人员受益，包括初级教员、研究助理、博士后和研究生。尤其是连续介质力学领域的初级研究人员将受益最大。除了延长的讲座，来自政府机构的领导当局还将主持小组讨论。该小组将讨论计算力学研究人员面临的科学和技术/方案挑战问题。随附的海报介绍将为研究人员提供与同行和政府代表交流意见的机会。

The workshop will bring together diverse computational mechanicians dealing with discrete (atomistic) and continuum (PDEs) phenomena. Leading experts in the two communities will deliver extended lectures on the topics of mechanics of single crystals at the nanoscale, the mechanics of nanostructures (nanograins, nanotubes, and nanopatterns), and the bridging between nano-micro-macro scales. These lectures will benefit junior researchers, including junior faculty, research associates, post-docs, and graduate students. In particular, the junior researchers in the field of continuum mechanics will benefit the most. In addition to the extended lectures, leading authorities from governmental agencies will chair a panel discussion. This panel will address the issues of both scientific and technological/programmatic challenges to researchers of computational mechanics. The accompanying poster presentations will provide an opportunity for the researchers to exchange views with their peers and with the governmental representatives.
