This grant is in partial support of the Gordon Research conference (GRC) on Thin Film and Small Scale Mechanical Behavior to be held July 24-29, 2016, at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. This week-long meeting will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on the same topic, July 23-24, 2016. The GRS promotes the inclusion and participation of younger researchers (graduate students and postdoctoral scientists), both in their own GRS forum and also at the GRC meeting afterwards. Both the GRS and the GRC will focus on the small scale behavior of materials, with an emphasis on the tools used to measure and study behavior at these scales. The conference and seminar are immersive and interactive. A broad impact on knowledge dissemination, stimulation of new research and cooperation is expected, particularly for young scientists.This GRC will explore how micromechanical measurements can be combined with complementary techniques for materials characterization at the same length-scales, to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of mechanical behavior of materials. Furthermore, by recognizing that the mechanical response of bulk materials is mediated by mechanisms and microstructures at the nanometer and micron length-scales, the importance of bridging small scale observations to macro-scale predictions will be emphasized.

这笔赠款是在2016年7月24日至29日在缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院举行的有关薄膜和小规模机械行为的戈登研究会议（GRC）的部分支持。本周的会议将在2016年7月23日至24日在同一主题上进行戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。GRS促进了年轻的研究人员（研究生和博士后科学家）的包容和参与，包括在自己的GRS论坛上，以及之后的GRC会议。 GRS和GRC都将重点关注材料的小规模行为，重点是用于测量和研究这些量表的工具。会议和研讨会是沉浸式和互动的。预计将对知识传播，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。此GRC将探讨如何将微机械测量与在相同长度尺度上表征材料表征的互补技术结合在一起，以促进对材料机械行为的全面理解。此外，通过认识到块状材料的机械响应是由纳米和微米长度尺度上的机制和微观结构介导的，将强调将小规模观测桥接到宏观尺度预测的重要性。
