UJNR Workshop on Smart and High Performance Materials and Systems

该项目于1993年5月14日和15日在日本筑波举办了一次美日智能和高性能材料和系统合作研讨会。该研讨会的技术方案侧重于土木工程结构在地震荷载和一般运动下的应用。条件。这次研讨会有来自学术机构、政府实验室和工业界的美国和日本研究人员参加。研讨会的目的是讨论主题的最新进展和未来发展。美国和日本研究人员的合作研究议程。传感器的最新进展，执行器和计算机技术以及现代高性能材料的出现对土木工程提出了巨大的挑战研发界。现在全国已达成共识，迫切需要通过修复、修复和修复来发展更安全、更经济和环境友好的基础设施系统，升级和改造国家日益恶化、陈旧和老化的基础设施系统，显著提升国家的国际竞争力。在这方面，使用智能和高性能的材料和系统被认为是一个最有希望的领域，可在以下方面共同努力美国研究人员。参加这次研讨会的所有美国研究人员都来自大学，并在各自的机构。日方与会者预计将主要代表政府实验室、建筑和其他行业，从而为美国代表团带来更多面向应用的研究成果。该研讨会是作为美日国家资源(UJNR)计划的一部分实施的。

This project conducts a US-Japan Cooperative Workshop on Smart and High Performance Materials and Systems in Tsukuba, Japan on May 14 and l5, 1993. The technical program of the workshop focuses on the applications in civil engineering structures under seismic loads and generic motion conditions. This workshop involves U.S. and Japanese researchers from academic institutions, government laboratories and industry. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the state-of-the-art of the subject matter and to develop future cooperative research agenda for U.S. and Japanese researchers. Recent advances in sensor, actuator and computer technologies as well as the emergence of modern high performance materials pose a great challenge to the civil engineering research and development community. National consensus now exists for urgent necessity to develop safer, more economical and environmentally friendly infrastructure systems by rehabilitating, upgrading and retrofitting the nation's deteriorating, obsolete and aging infrastructure systems in order, among other things, to significantly enhance the international competitiveness of the nation. In this respect use of smart and high performance materials and systems is considered as a most promising area for the concerted effort on the part of the U.S. researchers. All the U.S. researchers participating in this workshop are university-based and present the cutting edge research work at their respective institutions. The Japanese participants are expected to represent primarily government laboratories, and construction and other industries, thus presenting more application oriented research results to the benefit of the U.S. delegation. This workshop is implemented as a part of the U.S.-Japan in National Resources (UJNR) program.
