2011 GRC Physical Metallurgy

本次戈登研究会议(GRC)的重点是评估金属结构在多个长度和时间尺度上的动态演变的建模和实验表征的定量方法的开发和应用的现状和未来的挑战。应邀发表的演讲将涉及五个主要领域：1.表征微观结构演变的原位测量和建模方法；2.形变微观结构的实验和理论研究；3.相变动力学；4.辐照诱导的金属结构演化的建模和实验表征；5.动力学建模和原位表征技术的进展对从能源生产到运输等各种应用的先进合金材料的设计和优化的影响。在GRC之前，将举行戈登-凯南研究研讨会(GRS)，该研讨会将为促进研究生和博士后研究员之间的互动和网络提供一个论坛。GRS提供了一个让学生参与GRC会议的机制。NSF的资金将用于以注册豁免和旅行支持的形式帮助研究生、博士后研究人员、年轻教师和特邀演讲者。与会者一般来自工业界、学术界和政府，他们对技术有不同的兴趣。组织者的目标是妇女和代表性不足的群体的参与。

The focus of this Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is to assess the current state of the art and future challenges in the development and application of quantitative methods for modeling and experimental characterization of the dynamical evolution of metal structures over multiple length and time scales. Invited presentations will cover topics in five main areas: 1. In-situ measurement and modeling approaches for characterizing the evolution of microstructures; 2. Experimental and theoretical investigations of deformation microstructures; 3. The dynamics of phase transformations; 4. Modeling and experimental characterization of irradiation-induced evolution of metal structures; 5. The impact of advances in dynamical modeling and in-situ characterization techniques on the design and optimization of advanced alloy materials for applications ranging from energy generation to transportation. The GRC will be preceded by a Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS), which will provide a forum for fostering interactions and networking among graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The GRS provides a mechanism for engaging students in the GRC meeting. NSF funds will be used in to assist graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, young faculty and invited speakers in the form of registration waivers and travel support. Attendees generally come from industry, academia and government and have a variety of technical interests. The organizers target the participation of women and underrepresented groups.
