Air Force/Army/NSF Joint Workshop on "Multifunctional Materials and Structures"; October 29-30, 2004; Monterey, CA

斯坦福大学拟于2004年10月29-30日举办多功能材料与结构研讨会。该研讨会将由美国国家科学基金会、空军科学研究办公室和陆军研究办公室共同主办。研讨会的主题是具有汽车功能的多功能复合材料。特别地，将关注具有能量存储能力、具有自诊断能力和自感知能力的复合材料。 斯坦福大学将为这一特别讲习班提供行政支助。 建议向AFOSR、ARO和NSF的联合体提供32，500美元的总预算，以支付以下费用：（a）讲习班发言人的旅费和住宿补贴，（B）租用会议室，（c）所有与会者的茶点和宴会费用;（d）其他事项讲习班将为研究界提供一个独特的机会，审查目前的该领域的最新技术，并与行业代表讨论新技术开发的迫切需求。讲习班将提供一个论坛，进一步促进该领域创新技术的发展。 研讨会将为研究人员、教育工作者和培训人员提供一个独特的机会，直接与工业代表和政府资助机构在许多应用领域进行交流，从民用基础设施和地面-空间-海底运输系统到生物医疗设备。

The Stanford University is proposing to organize the Multifunctional Materials andStructures Workshop on October 29-30, 2004. The workshop will be co-sponsored by theNational Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and the ArmyResearch Office. The major theme of the workshop is focused on multifunctional composites with automomic capabilities. Particularly, attention will be given on composite materials with engergy storage capability, with self-diagnostic capability and self-sening capability. The Stanford University will be providing administrative support to this special Workshop. The total budget of $ 32,500 is proposed to a consortium of AFOSR, ARO and NSF to cover such costs as: (a) travel and lodging subsidy for the workshop speakers, (b) renting of a meeting room, (c) refreshments and banquet expense for all participants; (d) staffing and the preparation of the Workshop proceedings.The workshop will provide the research community a unique opportunity to examine the current state-of-the art technologies in the field and to discuss urgent needs in new technology development with industry representatives. The workshop will provide a forum to further fertilize the development of innovative technologies in the field. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for researchers, educators, and trainers to interface directly with industry representatives and government funding agents across many application fields, ranging from civil infrastructures and ground-space-undersea transportation systems, to bio medical devices.
