Non-Technical SummaryThis grant is in partial support for the Gordon Research conference on "Thin Film and Small Scale Mechanical Behavior" to be held July 13-18, 2014, at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The purpose is enhancing active participation by graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. This proposal is for funding to support GRC/GRS invited speakers and discussion leaders as well as graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty members. The topic of the conference is mechanical behavior at small scales. It is well established that the mechanical behavior of materials changes when they are geometrically confined to a small scale in at least one dimension. The approach is highly trans-disciplinary, involving scientists with backgrounds in materials science and mechanics as well as neighboring areas including condensed matter physics, electrical engineering and even biology. A broad impact on knowledge dissemination, stimulation of new research and cooperation is expected, particularly for young scientists. Technical SummaryThis grant is in partial support of the Gordon Research conference (GRC) on "Thin Film and Small Scale Mechanical Behavior" to be held July 13-18, 2014, at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The conference will concentrate on physical mechanisms of mechanical behavior at small scales, as linked to basic deformation mechanisms, reaching towards modern applications ranging from optical and microelectronic devices and nano- or micro-electrical mechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) to devices for energy production and storage. This research area has taken advantage of recent progress in atomistic and micromechanical modeling, as well as materials characterization and in-situ measurements at small length scales. The conference will cover topics of lasting significance to the field such as elasticity, plastic deformation, and fracture in small structures. In addition, it will highlight topics of growing importance. The approach is highly trans-disciplinary, involving scientists with backgrounds in materials science and mechanics as well as neighboring areas including condensed matter physics, electrical engineering and even biology. A broad impact on knowledge dissemination, stimulation of new research and cooperation is expected, particularly for young scientists.

非技术摘要这笔赠款在2014年7月13日至18日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆的本特利大学举行的有关戈登薄膜和小规模机械行为的戈登研究会议的部分支持。目的是增强研究生和博士后科学家的积极参与。该建议是为了支持GRC/GRS的资金，邀请了演讲者和讨论领导者以及研究生，博士后和初级教职员工。会议的主题是小规模的机械行为。 众所周知，材料的机械行为在至少一个维度上被几何局限于小规模时会发生变化。 该方法是高度跨学科的，涉及具有材料科学和力学背景的科学家，以及邻近地区，包括冷凝物质物理，电气工程甚至生物学。预计对知识传播，刺激新研究和合作的广泛影响，尤其是对于年轻科学家而言。 技术摘要这笔赠款是在2014年7月13日至18日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆市的本特利大学举行的有关“薄膜和小型机械行为”的戈登研究会议（GRC）的部分支持。 该会议将集中于与基本变形机制相关的机械行为的物理机制，其涉及现代应用，从光学和微电子设备以及纳米或微电动机械系统（NEMS/MEMS）到能源生产和存储设备。该研究领域利用了最新的原子和微力模型的进展，以及在小长度尺度上的材料表征和原位测量。 该会议将涵盖对该领域持久意义的主题，例如小型结构中的弹性，塑性变形和断裂。此外，它将重点介绍越来越重要的主题。该方法是高度跨学科的，涉及具有材料科学和力学背景的科学家，以及邻近地区，包括冷凝物质物理，电气工程甚至生物学。预计对知识传播，刺激新研究和合作的广泛影响，尤其是对于年轻科学家而言。
