Workshop: Current Challenges in Mechanics and Materials; August 2005; Laramie, WY

我们计划于2005年8月在怀俄明大学组织一次关于“当前力学和材料领域的挑战”的研讨会。与会者名单包括来自美国和欧洲的在力学/材料[M&amp；M]领域处于科学前沿的研究人员。为期四天的研讨会将涉及四个主要主题：(A)生物材料力学，(B)M&amp；M的实验方法，(C)M&amp；M的理论和模拟，以及(D)研究和教育的观点。拟议的研讨会提供了一个很好的交流和公开讨论的环境，允许介绍研究人员的最新工作，加强在该领域的研究前沿的努力。这次会议将是一个展示怀俄明大学研究成果的机会；它还将允许学生与该领域一些最优秀的人才进行宝贵的互动。

ABSTRACTWe propose to organize a workshop on "Current Challenges in Mechanics and Materials" at the University of Wyoming, in August 2005. The list of participants includes researchers from the US and Europe who are at the scientific forefront in the area of mechanics/materials [M&M].The four-day workshop will involve four major topics: (a) Mechanics of Biological Materials, (b) Experimental Methods in M&M, (c) Theory and Simulation in M&M, and (d) Perspectives on Research and Education.The proposed workshop provides an excellent environment for the exchange of ideas and open discussions that allow for the presentation of the researchers' latest work, augmenting efforts to advance the research frontiers in this field. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to showcase the research performed at the University of Wyoming; it will also permit a valuable interaction of students with some of the best minds in the field.
