I/UCRC for Fundamental Investigations in Microtribology

通过与西北大学摩擦学工业/大学合作研究中心共同分担成本，该项目补充了加州大学伯克利分校传感器和执行器工业/大学合作研究中心的研究项目。“TIE”项目是一项共同的协同努力，旨在研究和模拟极小装置和载荷下发生的摩擦。传感器和执行器的产学研合作研究中心正在研究非常小的设备在极小载荷下的摩擦。工业/大学摩擦学合作研究中心正在开发相关的实体机制模型，以满足其合作的观察结果。项目经理建议加州大学伯克利分校与西北大学合作开展为期两年的“TIE”项目，奖励5万美元。

This supplement augments the research program at the University of California, Berkeley's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Sensors and Actuators by cost- sharing a joint collaborative "TIE" project to be performed with Northwestern University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Tribology. The "TIE" project is a joint synergistic effort to study and model the friction occurring with extremely small devices and loads. The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Sensors and Actuators is studying friction in very small devices under extremely small loads. The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Tribology is developing relevant solid mechanisms models that satisfy its collaboration's observations. The Program Manager recommends the University of California, Berkeley be awarded $50,000 for a two-year "TIE" project to be performed collaboratively with Northwestern University.
