U.S. Panel on Structural Control Research

这个项目是建立一个美国国家抗震和抗风设计结构控制研究小组。其目标是为研究建立一个健全的知识基础，为结构的主动控制制定一个国家研发计划，并与日本科学机构在日本设立的一个对应小组开展一个合作规划研究项目。将制定一项行动计划，其中包括可能的多国努力，包括合作项目、人员交流、联合组织的实验以及数据和技术资料的交流等。这些活动将涉及来自学术领域、工业和政府实验室的研究人员。这些方案将在“国际减少自然灾害十年”的总体主持下实施。这一努力将加速一项新兴技术在主动结构控制中的应用，该技术有望减少地震和风荷载对结构的破坏。

This project is to establish a U.S. national panel on structural control research for seismic and wind resistant design. The objective is to establish a sound knowledge basis for research, to develop a national R&D program for the active control of structures, and to conduct a collaborative planning study project with a counterpart panel in Japan established by the Japan Science Agency. A plan of action will be developed which consists of possible multi-national efforts involving collaborative projects, exchange of personnel, jointly organized experiments, and exchange of data and technical information, etc. The activities will involve researchers from academic field, industry, and government laboratories. The programs will be carried out under the general auspices of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). The effort will bring about accelerated implementation of an emerging technology in active structural control which holds great promise for reducing structural damages for seismic and wind loadings.
