USA-China Workshop on Advanced Machine Tool Research; January 8-11, 1999, Los Angeles, CA

9820812 这次中美联合研讨会汇集了来自美国和中国的学术研究人员和工业专家，讨论先进的机床技术。该研讨会在南加州大学校园内举行，包括技术演示和小组讨论。讨论的主题包括：（1）动态数据分析和建模的创新;（2）对传感器信号如声发射的新理解;（3）对过程动态的新理解;（4）包括多速率方法的信号处理技术;（5）并行制造机器结构如六足机器及其进一步改进;（6）可重构机器和开放式结构控制;（7）网络和信息技术，包括多媒体、基于因特网的通信和多代理系统;（8）高速加工硬材料和迄今为止“不可加工”材料的能力;（9）快速原型制造的新工艺。 对亚利桑那州州立大学和亚利桑那州凤凰城地区的一些工业公司进行为期一天的访问是研讨会计划的一部分。 为中国代表安排的活动还包括参加在加州的长滩举行的1999年NSF设计和制造资助者会议。 该研讨会由中国国家科学基金会部分资助，为两国选定的参与者提供了一个论坛，以确定机床研究的关键和新兴领域，了解机床行业的现状，讨论未来的研发和商业合作机会，并建立有利于实现这些合作机会的网络。

9820812 This joint USA-China Workshop brings together a selected group of academic researchers and industrial experts from USA and China to discuss advanced machine tool technology. Held on the campus of the University of Southern California, this workshop comprises technical presentations and panel discussions. Topics of discussion include: (1) innovations in dynamic data analysis and modeling; (2) new understandings on sensor signals such as acoustic emission; (3) new process dynamics understandings; (4) signal processing techniques including multi-rate methods; (5) parallel manufacturing machine structures such as hexapod and its further improvements; (6) reconfigurable machines and open-architecture control; (7) networking and information technologies, including multimedia, the Intemet-based communication, and multi-agent systems; (8) capabilities for high speed machining of hard and heretofore "unmachinable" materials; and (9) novel processes for rapid prototyping. A one-day visit to Arizona State University and some industrial companies in the Phoenix, Arizona region is part of the workshop program. The activities arranged for the delegates from China also include their participation in the 1999 NSF Design and Manufacturing Grantees Conference, which is being held in Long Beach, California. Funded in part by China's National Science Foundation, this workshop provides a forum for the selected participants from the two countries to identify critical and emerging areas of machine tool research, to learn about the present state of machine tool industry, to discuss future R&D and business cooperation opportunities, and to establish networks useful to realization of these collaboration opportunities.
