US/Japan Workshop on Smart Structures Technology: Application to Large Civil Structures

该项目将在马里兰州大学帕克分校的校园内组织一次关于应用于大型土木结构的智能结构技术的美日联合讲习班。 来自日本和美国学术界、工业界和政府实验室的专家将参加研讨会。 讲习班的目标是：（1）评估智能结构技术的最新发展及其在美国和日本大型土木结构中的最新应用，（2）确定研究需求、差距和未来的研究重点，（3）通过大学的积极参与，将美国和日本的研究人员和从业人员聚集在一起，探索和促进合作研究活动，政府和行业专业人士。 该项目由美国国家科学基金会和日本建设省建筑研究所共同支持，并由美国-日本自然资源（UJNR）计划赞助。

The project is to organize a joint US/Japan workshop on smart structures technology applied to large civil structures on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. The workshop will be attended by Japanese and US experts from academia, industry and government laboratories. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) assess recent developments in smart structure technology and their recent applications to large civil structures in the US and Japan, (2) to identify research needs, gaps and future research thrusts and, (3) bring together researchers and practitioners from the US and Japan to explore and promote cooperative research activities through active participation of university, government and industry professionals. This project is jointly supported by NSF and Building Research Institute, Ministry of Construction, Japan, under the auspices of the US-Japan Natural Resources (UJNR) Program.
