This grant provides support for the workshop entitled "Computational Mechanics Vision and Future Challenges", to be held on October 31-November 1, 2019 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Computational mechanics is a diverse field with different methodologies and techniques that are used to solve fundamental and important problems in various application areas. Because of the constant need for predictive computational modeling in both established and newly emerging research fields, computational mechanics plays a key role in many future scientific developments. However, it faces new challenges and opportunities from the rise to prominence of artificial intelligence, complex infrastructure, additive manufacturing as well as a newly urgent focus on health. This has created a significant need to identify the future challenges and research and educational opportunities facing the computational mechanics community in these areas. The objective of this workshop is to solicit and synthesize directions for computational mechanics research and education in the United States over the next decade and beyond. Funding from this grant will support planning activities, production of a report, and travel of invited participants.In this one-and-a-half-day workshop, leading experts across a wide cross-section of the computational mechanics community will convene in an interactive setting to discuss ways to address emerging challenges in the areas of data-driven modeling/machine learning, additive manufacturing, risk and uncertainty-based engineering, and medicine. We will ensure the participation of a diverse audience through various means, including specifically targeting women and underrepresented minorities and early career professionals, along with mid-career and senior faculty and representatives from industry and government, such that all stakeholders participate in the future directions of the computational mechanics community. The product of the workshop will be a report with recommendations for NSF and the larger computational mechanics field, which will be widely disseminated across the spectrum of academia, government, and industry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该赠款为题为“计算技工愿景和未来挑战”的研讨会提供了支持，该研讨会将于2019年10月31日在密歇根州安阿伯市的密歇根大学校园举行。计算力学是一个不同的领域，具有不同的方法和技术，用于解决各种应用领域的基本和重要问题。由于在已建立和新兴的研究领域中不断需要预测计算建模，因此计算力学在许多未来的科学发展中都起着关键作用。但是，从崛起到人工智能，复杂的基础设施，增材制造业以及对健康的新紧急关注，它面临着新的挑战和机遇。这产生了重要的需求，以确定这些领域计算机械师社区面临的未来挑战，研究和教育机会。该研讨会的目的是在接下来的十年及以后的美国征求和综合计算力学研究和教育方向。这笔赠款的资金将支持计划活动，报告的生产以及受邀参与者的旅行。在这项为期半天的研讨会中，计算机械师社区的广泛横截面的主要专家将在交互式设置讨论如何解决数据驱动的建模/机器学习，增材制造，风险和基于不确定性的工程以及医学领域的新出现挑战的方法。我们将通过各种手段确保各种各样的受众的参与，包括专门针对妇女和代表性不足的少数民族和早期职业专业人员，以及职业和高级教职员工以及行业和政府的代表，以使所有利益相关者都参与未来的方向计算力学界。研讨会的产品将是一份有关NSF和更大的计算机械领域的建议的报告，该领域将在学术界，政府和行业范围内广泛传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过的支持。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
