项目摘要

This award is an international travel grant to the American Rock Mechanics Association Foundation (ARMA/F) to support the U.S. delegate to the 2011 and 2012 International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Council meetings and symposia. For 2011 and 2012, the U.S. delegate is Peter Smeallie, the executive director of ARMA and the ARMA/F. In 2012, the delegation will be expanded to include the ISRM Vice President for North America who at that time will be a delegate from the United States. Mr. Smeallie serves on the ISRM Council and represents the interests of the U.S. rock mechanics community. The U.S. delegate will attend the ISRM Council and Commission meetings, as appropriate, in Beijing in 2011 and in Stockholm in 2012.The presence of the US delegation will enhance US geo-engineering and rock mechanics by providing an international perspective on important issues currently being addressed by ISRM, such as international underground research laboratories, radioactive waste disposal, rock testing methods, application of geophysics in rock mechanics, and post-mining rock mechanics. The ISRM meetings, at which up to 46 nations participate, will also allow the opportunity to generate international interest in U.S. rock mechanics research and education. US participation in the activities of ISRM has a direct impact on issues of national importance through collaborative alliances fostered by the international society. These areas include resource exploration and production, national security issues, environmental considerations, and civil infrastructure systems through advances in tunneling and excavation technologies.

该奖项是美国摇滚力学协会基金会（ARMA/F）的国际旅行资助，旨在支持美国代表2011年和2012年国际岩石力学学会（ISRM）理事会会议和研讨会。在2011年和2012年，美国代表是Arma和Arma/f的执行董事Peter Smeallie。 2012年，代表团将扩大到包括北美ISRM副总裁，当时将是美国的代表。 Smeallie先生在ISRM理事会任职，代表了美国摇滚力学界的利益。美国代表将于2011年在北京举行的ISRM委员会和委员会会议，并于2012年在斯德哥尔摩参加。由ISRM致辞，例如国际地下研究实验室，放射性废物处理，岩石测试方法，地球物理学在岩石力学中的应用以及挖掘后的岩石力学。 ISRM会议（最多46个国家都会参加）也将有机会对美国岩石力学研究和教育产生国际兴趣。美国参与ISRM的活动通过国际社会促进的合作联盟对国家重要性问题有直接影响。这些领域包括资源探索和生产，国家安全问题，环境考虑以及通过隧道和发掘技术的进步。
