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是对将于 2014 年 7 月 13 日至 18 日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆本特利大学举行的戈登研究会议“薄膜和小规模机械行为”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。该提案旨在为 GRC/GRS 邀请的演讲者和讨论领袖以及研究生、博士后和初级教员提供资金支持。会议的主题是小尺度的机械行为。 众所周知，当材料在至少一个维度上被几何限制在小尺度内时，其机械行为会发生变化。 该方法是高度跨学科的，涉及具有材料科学和力学以及凝聚态物理、电气工程甚至生物学等邻近领域背景的科学家。预计会对知识传播、刺激新研究和合作产生广泛影响，特别是对年轻科学家而言。 技术摘要这项资助是对将于 2014 年 7 月 13 日至 18 日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆本特利大学举行的“薄膜和小规模机械行为”戈登研究会议 (GRC) 的部分支持。 会议将集中讨论小尺度机械行为的物理机制，与基本变形机制相关，涉及从光学和微电子设备以及纳米或微机电系统（NEMS/MEMS）到能源生产设备的现代应用和存储。该研究领域利用了原子和微机械建模以及小长度尺度的材料表征和原位测量方面的最新进展。 会议将涵盖对该领域具有持久意义的主题，例如小型结构的弹性、塑性变形和断裂。此外，它将突出日益重要的主题。该方法是高度跨学科的，涉及具有材料科学和力学以及凝聚态物理、电气工程甚至生物学等邻近领域背景的科学家。预计会对知识传播、刺激新研究和合作产生广泛影响，特别是对年轻科学家而言。
