Rapidly advancing technologies in the fields of mechanical systems dynamics, structural mechanics, design sensitivity analysis, optimization, computer architectures, computer science, numerical analysis and computer graphics need to be integrated into an overall mechanical system simulation and design optimization program that can be used by industry. As a result of NSF Planning Grant CDR 87-00749, the University of Iowa has shown that an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Simulation and Design Optimization of Mechanical Systems is both feasible and viable. This five-year continuing grant is funding along with industry the initiation of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Simulation and Design Optimization of Mechanical Systems at the University of Iowa. This Center's research program is addressing: Dynamic System Simulation, Design Optimization, Advanced Software System Integration and Graphics Communication and Control of the Design Process. Over two dozens companies have become members of the Center providing support of approximately $1M. The Co-Principal Investigators and his colleagues are nationally recognized experts in their fields and have the knowledge, resources and support necessary to operate this Center. Drs. dePennington (DMC) and Marsh (MSM) are providing partial support. The Program Manager recommends the University of Iowa be awarded $75,000 for the first year of a five year continuing grant. The five-year continuing grant is to be cost shared this first year with $50,000 (CDR), $20,000 (DMC) and $5,000 (MSM). The U.S. Army, TACOM, is providing $50,000 to co-fund this Center with NSF. An additional $147,000 supplemental funding to augment the Center's research program is being provided by for other Government laboratories. Another $5,000 is for "Supplemental Funding of Women, Minority, and Handicapped Engineering Research Assistant." Follow on funding during the last four years will be in accordance with the following renewal criteria. Near the end of each 12-month period, the Program Manager and/or the Head of The Division of Cross-Disciplinary Research will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: (1) extent to which university/industry interaction and collaboration is developing; (2) extent to which the support base for the center is expanding; (3) extent to which a robust research program is developing. If review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support of the next period of this continuing grant.

机械系统动力学、结构力学、设计敏感性分析、优化、计算机体系结构、计算机科学、数值分析和计算机图形学等领域快速发展的技术需要集成到一个可以被工业使用的整体机械系统仿真和设计优化程序中。根据美国国家科学基金会（NSF）计划拨款CDR 87-00749，爱荷华大学已经表明，建立一个工业/大学合作研究中心来模拟和优化机械系统的设计是可行的。这项为期五年的持续拨款将与工业界一起资助在爱荷华大学建立一个工业/大学合作研究中心，用于机械系统的模拟和设计优化。该中心的研究方向包括：动态系统仿真、设计优化、高级软件系统集成和设计过程的图形通信与控制。超过20家公司已经成为该中心的成员，提供了大约100万美元的支持。联合首席调查员及其同事是各自领域的全国公认专家，拥有运营本中心所需的知识、资源和支持。Drs。德宁顿（DMC）和马什（MSM）提供部分支持。项目经理建议爱荷华大学在五年持续资助的第一年获得75,000美元。这项为期五年的持续拨款将在第一年由5万美元（CDR）、2万美元（DMC）和5000美元（MSM）分摊。美国陆军TACOM将提供5万美元与NSF共同资助该中心。另外为中心的研究方案提供了14.7万美元的补充资金，由其他政府实验室提供。另外5000美元将用于“女性、少数族裔和残疾人工程研究助理补充基金”。最后四年的后续资助将按照下列续期标准进行。在每12个月结束时，项目经理和/或跨学科研究部主管将根据一系列更新标准审查中心的进展情况，包括以下方面：(1)大学/行业互动和合作的发展程度；(2)中心支撑基础扩大的程度；(3)一个强有力的研究项目正在发展的程度。如果审查是令人满意的，计划经理将建议支持这个持续拨款的下一个时期。
