This grant provides travel support for the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling, which will be held at the Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 19-22, 2020. The conference will be jointly hosted by George Mason University, Georgetown University, and the University of Maryland. Multiscale materials modeling (MMM) is a branch of computational mechanics, computational biomechanics, and computational materials science in which existing and emerging methods from interdisciplinary fields are combined to bridge phenomena, which are inherent to complex material systems, across different length and time scales. MMM provides direct insights on how materials (or living matter) deform and/or adapt their form and function in response to different mechanical, electrical, magnetic, or environmental exciters, and trace this to material structure and molecular (or cellular) level mechanisms. MMM is also indispensable for expediting the development and manufacturing of reliable materials with superior performance by moving away from empirical trial-and-error techniques, to state-of-the-art and experimentally verified multi-scale computational methods. This grant will help to considerably subsidize travel costs, through scholarships, for 50 graduate students and 25 junior researchers, with emphasis on under-representative groups, to participate, showcase their work, as well as interact with leaders in the MMM community who regularly attend this conference. These travel fellowships will also help promote/highlight NSF-funded research focused on MMM.This four-day conference brings together researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry from across the globe with interdisciplinary research backgrounds in mechanics, biomechanics and mechanobiology, materials, advanced manufacturing, and computational mechanics and sciences to share new advancements in the field and identify existing and future challenges. Each day there will be an hour-long plenary session, two 45 minutes semi-plenary sessions, and 5.5 hours of 9 to 13 parallel technical sessions. Each technical session will be composed of multiple 20 minutes contributed presentations and 30 minutes invited presentations. There will also be two separate evening poster sessions in which a student poster competition will be held. The outcome of this conference will be disseminated in the form of several peer reviewed journal special issues that would feature several conference articles.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2020年10月19日至2020年10月19日至22日在马里兰州巴尔的摩的约翰·霍普金斯大学校园举行的第十届多尺度材料建模国际会议提供了旅行支持。该会议将由乔治·梅森大学，乔治敦大学和马里兰大学共同主持。多尺度材料建模（MMM）是计算力学，计算生物力学和计算材料科学的分支，其中将跨学科领域的现有和新兴方法合并到桥梁现象，桥梁现象是跨不同长度和时间尺度的复杂材料系统所固有的。 MMM提供有关材料（或生物物质）如何变形和/或适应其形式和功能的直接见解，以响应不同的机械，电气，磁性或环境激励者，并将其追溯到材料结构以及分子（或细胞）水平机制。 MMM也是必不可少的，即通过从经验试验和错误技术转向最先进的和实验验证的多规模计算方法来加快具有出色性能的可靠材料的开发和制造。这笔赠款将通过奖学金，50名研究生和25名初级研究人员，重点强调代表性不足的团体，参与，展示他们的工作，并与经常参加此次会议的MMM社区的领导者互动，从而有助于大量补贴旅行成本。这些旅行奖学金还将有助于促进/突出在MMM上的NSF资助的研究，这为期四天的会议将来自学术界，国家实验室和全球行业的研究人员与跨学科研究背景的机械，生物力学和机械生物学，材料和材料，高级制造机制以及计算机械师以及领域的挑战和未来和未来的进步和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来的进步和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和未来和所在为现有所提供的，并确定了新的挑战和未来。每天都会举行一个小时的全体会议，两个45分钟的半百年会议和5.5小时的9至13平行技术会议。每个技术会议将由多个20分钟的贡献和30分钟的邀请演讲组成。还将举行两个独立的晚间海报会议，其中将举行学生海报比赛。这次会议的结果将以几种同行评审期刊的特殊问题的形式进行传播，这些特别问题将涉及几篇会议文章。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
