Research
The research activities of Kaushik Bhattacharya are at the intersection of Mechanics, Materials Science and Applied Mathematics. Concepts in Mechanics and recent methods of Mathematics are used to generate ideas for the design, development, and creation of new materials and the optimization of materials processing. Virtually every material contains features that are different at different length scales and undergoes processes at a variety of time scales. For example, even the simplest piece of metal is typically made up of many crystallites (grains), which in turn are made up of many atoms. This complexity is only compounded in sophisticated modern materials. Macroscopic applied loads and fields affect the microscopic structure; conversely, the microscopic structure affects the macroscopic behavior. Therefore, bridging length scales is a key theme, and this is addressed in a variety of materials and materials systems.
Much recent research has focused on active materials like shape-memory alloys and ferroelectrics. These materials are of inherent interest; furthermore, their characteristic microstructure makes them an ideal system to study development methodologies for multiscale modeling. The research has identified critical criteria in the crystallography that make shape-memory alloys special among martensites and Titanium-Nickel special among shape-memory alloys. Ideas for improvement of the shape-memory effect in other materials through texturing have been proposed. The research has also identified an electromechanical loading path gives rise to large electrostriction in ferroelectric single crystal. A current focus of the research is the application of active materials in microactuation in MEMS application. A new strategy of using thin films of active materials that use inherent microstructural features as structural elements have been identified and demonstrated.

Other areas of research include the growth of thin films, the effective properties and failure of composite materials, the design of hard but tough steels, failure of heterogeneous materials, precipitation hardening, and the development of methods for a unified molecular-continuum description of materials.

Advances in Computational Tire Mechanics Minisymposium at ECCM IV, Paris

201016-21 May 2010, http://www.eccm2010.org/

Tires have a long history of inspiring challenging applications of computational mechanics, and this field remains fertile for future advances. Because the tire is crucial to the safety of automotive systems, and because of its relevance to pavement and vehicle performance, there is much to be gained through investigation of the tire structure and how it interacts with its environment. The tire problem involves composite materials which show nonlinear time-, damage-, temperature- and load-dependent behaviour. It involves complex geometry, and contact conditions which demand innovative approaches for dealing with static, transient and steady state rolling. It involves the solution of multi-field, multi-scaled problems. More than ever, up to date computational approaches are needed to address these issues realistically and efficiently.

This minisyposium is being organized in co-operation with The Tire Society, the leading community in the field of tire mechanics, in order to bring together scientists from academia and industry to discuss present and future developments.
Organized in Cooperation with The Tire Societywww.tiresociety.org

薛涌：中国需要良好的大学排行榜
 

大学排行榜在中国成了过街老鼠。特别是《人民日报》报道了成都理工大学在2004年和2006年两次邀请“中国大学评价课题组”负责人来校讲座，随后又两次向此机构汇款数万元，致使该校在排行榜上名次上升的丑闻，更让其成为舆论的焦点。教育部也随即公开表态，不赞成、不支持大学排行榜，坚决反对借此向高校拉赞助。

但是，在一个健康的市场经济社会，良好的大学排行榜还是必须的。在计划经济时代，大学就那么几个，而且都按行政等级排列，重点非重点等等层次分明，考生的选择少，选择起来也容易。如今是市场经济，除了几十个重点大学外，两千多所大学鱼龙混杂，考生的选择多，但选择起来也不知所措。排行榜如同消费者指南一样，是学生择校之必需。特别是以后高等教育改革、容许学生同时报考几个学校后，有信誉的排行榜就更成为手里拿着几份录取通知书的考生的重要参考了。

不妨看看美国的经验。在那里，关于大学排行榜其实也一直争论不休。特别是《美国新闻与世界报道》的全美大学排行榜，成为高中生及其家长择校之“圣经”，也成为教育界的众矢之的。最近十几年，频频出现高等教育的领袖和教授们抨击该排行榜的事情。几个一流大学的校长还联名写信呼吁抵制该排行榜。也确实有一些学校拒绝和该杂志合作、撤下排行榜的。但是，这一排行榜照样有人气。

这一排行榜之所以有人气，主要在于其资料的翔实和权威。《美国新闻与世界报道》投入大量的财力和人力，收集各大学的资料，其中从各校在同行中的声誉这种软性指标，到新生的考试 成绩、在高中毕业班中的名次，乃至师生比例、财政资源和设施、辍学率、学生年龄、校友捐赠比例等18项硬指标无所不包，然后根据严格设计的数量化模型换算，最后得出总分，也就产生了总排行。这些数据都是各校提供的，如果该刊公布的资料不准确，马上就会有人提出。同时，如果某校在提供资料时作假，也会受到惩罚，甚至被踢出排行榜——一切都非常透明。

也正是因为这样的声誉，学生报考大学时大多参考这个排行。有些学校为了竞争，甚至制定了打入前110名的战略。因为头110多个学校，会在杂志上公布，等而下之的学校则只能在该刊网站公布的全版中找到。我查了一下各大学对国际学生的收费，上这个榜和不上这个榜的学校之间有着显著的差距。可见其商业利益之重大。

也正是这个原因，大学校长和教授等高等教育界的业内人士对之口诛笔伐。他们的理由是：这种排行，是不懂教育的人以商业化的手法评价教育。教育本身比几个干巴巴的数据复杂得多。特别是各校跟着排名的指挥棒、挖空心思在该刊选中的各项指标上做文章、凑数字，忽视了真正的教学工作，助长了高等教育的商业化趋势。最荒唐的是，某大学定期把校内设施翻修了一遍，排行突然就往上跳了好几名。

在我看来，这种批评虽不无道理，却有小题大作之嫌。第一，高等教育的质量当然不能仅听行内人的，必须有行外人士的监督；第二，如今美国大学四千所左右，学生和家长选择起来眼花缭乱。这些人都不是教育专家，不可能像大学校长们那样对各学校知根知底、理解教育的“复杂性”。一个简明扼要、容易理解的指南，乃是非常实用的工具；第三，该杂志为维护自己的声誉，在收集和分析资料时非常严格，有硬指标和数据为基准。所以，排行榜出来，即使行内人士也不觉得离谱。事实上，美国大学的师生 对这个排行榜骂归骂，心里还是当回事，各校在提供资料时也大多非常合作。校长教授们的批评，也一直在促进该排行榜的改善。

从美国的大学排行，我们至少可以学到几点经验。第一，独立的媒体成为排名的主导，不受官僚体系和学校利益的干扰，依靠资料的准确性和权威性吃饭，程序透明；第二，被排名的大学 和进行排名的媒体之间关系不是那么“和谐”，经常彼此攻击。这就逼得双方在互相监督中做事严谨，生怕授人以柄。如果大家经常一起“沟通”，甚至吃吃喝喝，那就成了丑闻，因此谁也不敢涉足；第三，除了《美国新闻与世界报道》的排行外，其他媒体和各种相关机构也推出五花八门的排行，大家进行激烈的市场竞争。这样，谁要是声誉上有瑕疵，就会在竞争中被其他家所取代。排行的质量，也因此得以维持。

中国的大学经过多年扩招，水分很大。特别是高校片面追求行政等级，大兴土木，不把学生的利益放在首位，更需要媒体的严格监督。信誉良好的大学排行榜，因为瞄准的是学生和家长的利益，并以这种利益为设计原则，完全可以成为一种有效的监督方式。所以，我很希望有志于此的媒体能够果断投入资源，建立有声誉的大学排行榜和自己的品牌。这对选择大学的学生和家长们来说，实在是个福音。(作者为美国Suffolk大学学者）

中青报：莫让“两个凡是”成为学术评价的桎梏

虚心学习是学术研究和创新的前提，只是要始终坚持实事求是

现在高校和一些科研机构在评价论文或其他科研成果时，相当普遍地存在着“两个凡是”现象：凡是提交有外国人参加的“国际会议”和有外国人肯定、称赞的论文，水平就一定高；凡是引用了外国人的著作和语录的论文，水平就一定高。

翻一翻各单位制定的一些考核文件和评奖规定以及对在校大学生论文的要求，我们不难看出这“两个凡是”正在严重地阻碍着我国学术创新能力的发挥，破坏学术创新评价体系的科学性，使得我们的学术创新沦为他国的学术注解与诠释。自从打开中国国门以来，这种以外国人的喜好为评价标准的思维模式在学术界颇为壮观，一时间学人言必称“国际”，似乎只有“外国人”才是唯一可以代表能力水平的标准。学界开始变得浮躁起来，考核和奖励标准成了人们学术研究的桎梏。

当今时代，“国际会议”颇多，有在中国内地与国外某一地区或学校召开的会议，也有在周边某国或境外某地召开的会议，只要会议上有外国人甚至是中国的港澳台人士，都能称之为“国际会议”。如此“国际会议”到底能够在多大程度上代表真正的国际水准，可能很多组织者心里都是明白的。但是，我们的制度很明确，这样的“国际会议”可以得 到经费资助，参加这样会议的成果多能得到承认。一项学术研究，一项创新成果，能够得到有多个国家人士参加的国际会议的认可，当然是件好事情。中国要走向世界，当然要关注世界，当然要重视各种各样的有意义有价值的国际会议。但不可否认的是，现在外国也有一些机构，想着法子向一些发展中国家的人士发邀请，以“国际会议”的名义捞取钱财！在这种情况下，我们还有必要以此作为考核和奖励的唯一标准吗？

我们说中国走向世界，就是要向世界上一切先进优秀的文化学习，听取外国学者的意见，学习其长处。特别是在一些经过几百年努力发展起来的学科领域，我们更要虚心地请教。现在的问题是，若“凡是”我们的研究成果，都必须引用外国人的著作或语录，这就走到事物的另一面了。一方水土养活一方人，在自然科学领域如此，在社会科学领域更是如此。学习、借鉴、交流皆属发展科学之必需，其发展一方面是借鉴，更多的则在于根据中国的现实进行有创造性的研究。特别是那些正在中国大地上发生的事件、问题的研究，又如何去找外国人的现成答案？如果以此作为考核奖励的制度和标准，将会难倒一批又一批的研究者，由此影响到我国科学的创新与繁荣。

无疑，学术研究和创新是个痛苦的事情，交流当属必要，学习借鉴前人和他人的成果更是题中应有之义。但是当无意义的交流成为评价标准之时，当照抄照搬别人的文献成为时髦之时，便会让交流成为形式，摘抄文献成为简单的体力劳动！有大师说：“创新是指在实质上不同于现有形式的任何新思想、新行为或新事物。”如果学术创新仅靠发表一些外文论文，参加一些“国际会议”，引用一些外国人的“学术语录”，不但让学术蒙羞，而且让国家蒙受巨大损失，更让一些踏踏实实进行研究的人变得浮躁，使人们忙忙碌碌、不知所为，成为蝇营狗苟的“学术油子”。

大凡参加过一些真正的国际会议和读过外国人著作的人，都会得出这样一个结论，并不是每一个国际会议的水准都很高，更不是每一个外国学者的研究成果和发言水平都高于中国学者。虚心地向世界学习，真诚地向他人请教，永远是我们学术研究和创新的前提。只是希望政策的制定者，要始终坚持实事求是，一切从中国的国情和实际出发，让我们的学术制度和政策更有利于中国人才的成长。（原题为《学术创新与外国人的语录》）
