This grant provides partial travel support for an international symposium on Liquid and Solid Foams, to be held at the University of Texas at Austin, May 8-13, 2011. This symposium will bring together researchers from mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering who work in fluid mechanics, rheology, solid mechanics, and impact mechanics of foams. This diversity of participant backgrounds is unique and should stimulate thinking along new directions. Foams and more generally cellular materials have unique characteristics that are derived from their microstructure of interconnected networks of cells. This microstructure imparts to solid foams high stiffness- and strength-to-weight ratios, in addition to excellent energy absorption characteristics and exceptional thermal insulation and acoustical properties. Since many solid foams originate in a liquid state with the formation and deformation of gas bubbles, and gradually solidify, the foaming process influences the microstructure and the properties of the produced solid foams. Invited attendees include graduate students, post-docs, young researchers and industrial researchers who should benefit from their exposure to the best researchers in foam mechanics in the world. Young US participants will be given priority for travel support. The lectures will be video-taped and will be made available for viewing at a dedicated website. For wider dissemination, full length papers based on the presentations will be published as two special volumes in high impact international journals.

这笔赠款为将于 2011 年 5 月 8 日至 13 日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行的液体和固体泡沫国际研讨会提供部分旅行支持。该研讨会将汇集来自数学、物理、化学和工程领域的研究人员，他们的工作流体力学、流变学、固体力学和泡沫冲击力学。 参与者背景的多样性是独一无二的，应该会激发新方向的思考。 泡沫和更普遍的多孔材料具有独特的特性，这些特性源自其互连的细胞网络的微观结构。这种微观结构赋予固体泡沫高的刚度和强度重量比，此外还具有出色的能量吸收特性以及出色的隔热和声学性能。 由于许多固体泡沫起源于液态，伴随着气泡的形成和变形，并逐渐凝固，因此发泡过程影响所产生的固体泡沫的微观结构和性能。受邀参加者包括研究生、博士后、年轻研究人员和工业研究人员，他们应该从接触世界上最优秀的泡沫力学研究人员中受益。 美国年轻参与者将优先获得旅行支持。 讲座将被录像并可在专门网站上观看。 为了更广泛地传播，基于演讲的全文论文将作为两本特别卷在高影响力的国际期刊上出版。
