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

该项目将在马里兰大学学院公园的校园内组织一次关于智能结构技术应用于大型土木结构的美日联合研讨会。来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的日本和美国专家将参加研讨会。研讨会的目的是：(1)评估美国和日本智能结构技术的最新发展及其在大型土木结构中的最新应用；(2)确定研究需求、差距和未来的研究推动力；(3)汇聚美国和日本的研究人员和从业者，通过大学、政府和行业专业人士的积极参与，探索和促进合作研究活动。该项目由NSF和日本建设省建筑研究所联合支持，由美日自然资源计划(UJNR)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.
