Symposium in Memory of Patrick Veyssiere: Understanding the Mechanisms Controlling Plastic Flow; TMS 2012, 141st Annual Meeting; March 11-15, 2012; Orlando, FL

纪念Patrick Veyssiere的研讨会：理解控制塑料流动的机制，将于2012年3月11日至15日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的TMS 2012年第141届年会上举行。本次年会由矿物金属与材料协会（TMS）组织，将金属与材料社区聚集在一起，展示，学习和讨论该领域的最新发展。技术会议将包括位错组织、塑性流动、螺旋位错、点阵摩擦、金属间合金、纳米材料和变形机制。本次研讨会的目的是将来自这些不同社区的科学家聚集在一起，就这些主题中实验和模拟之间的相互关系进行交流。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支付7名学生和4名选定的演讲者或与会者的注册费，这些演讲者或与会者将由组委会确定。组委会可以通过联系大学院系和/或实验室邀请合格的候选人，这些院系和/或实验室在与研讨会主题相关的领域拥有强大的项目。我们将尽一切努力，鼓励来自代表性不足群体的候选人申请这些注册费减免。

The Symposium in Memory of Patrick Veyssiere: Understanding the Mechanisms Controlling Plastic Flow, will be held at the TMS 2012, 141st Annual Meeting March 11-15, 2012 in Orlando, FL. This annual conference is organized by The Minerals Metals & Materials Society (TMS), to bring the Metals and Materials community together to present, learn about, and discuss recent developments in the field. Technical Sessions will be held on Dislocation Organization, Plastic Flow, Screw Dislocations, Lattice Friction, Intermetallic Alloys, Nanograined Materials and Deformation Mechanisms. The aim of this symposium is to bring together scientists from these different communities to communicate about interrelationships between experiment and simulations in these topics. NSF funding will be used to defray the costs of registration fees for 7 students and 4 selected speakers or attendees who will be identified by the organizing committee. The organizing committee may invite qualified candidates by contacting university departments and/or laboratories that are known to have strong programs in areas related to the symposium topic. Every effort will be made to encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply for these registration fee waivers.
