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

9820812这次美国-中国联合研讨会汇集了一批来自美国和中国的学术研究人员和行业专家，讨论先进的机床技术。该研讨会在南加州大学校园内举行，包括技术介绍和小组讨论。讨论的主题包括：(1)动态数据分析和建模的创新；(2)对传感器信号的新理解，如声发射；(3)新的过程动力学理解；(4)信号处理技术，包括多速率方法；(5)并行制造机床结构，如六足及其进一步的改进；(6)可重构机床和开放式结构控制；(7)网络和信息技术，包括多媒体、基于互联网的通信和多智能体系统；(8)高速加工硬质和迄今“不可加工”的材料的能力；以及(9)用于快速成型的新工艺。对亚利桑那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利福尼亚州长滩举行的1999年美国国家科学基金会设计和制造受赠人会议。此次研讨会部分由中国的国家科学基金资助，为来自两国的选定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，并建立有助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.
