U.S.-German Cooperative Research to Study Ultrasonic Measurements of Fatigue Damage

0089548 Turner该奖项支持Joseph Turner和内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的学生与德国萨尔布吕肯弗劳恩霍夫无损检测研究所的Walter Arnold合作。 本计画将著重于超音波吸收与散射与疲劳破坏之间的关系。 将研究两种新技术，一种由阿诺德开发，另一种由特纳开发，将用于分析相同的标本。 此次合作将使技术交流成为可能，这些技术将利用德国和美国集团的互补专业知识，从而产生用于测量和监测建筑和制造业中使用的结构部件疲劳损伤的新技术。 强调交流初级研究人员，以增加他们的培训的国际层面，并使他们能够建立国际联系，在他们的职业生涯早期。

0089548TurnerThis award supports Joseph Turner and students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in a collaboration with Walter Arnold of the Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing in Saarbruecken, Germany. The project will focus on the relation between ultrasonic absorption and scattering and fatigue damage. Two new techniques will be investigated, one developed by Arnold, and the other by Turner, will be used to analyze identical specimens. The collaboration will make possible an exchange of techniques which make use of the complementary expertise available from the German and U.S. groups, thereby leading to new techniques for measuring and monitoring fatigue damage of structural components used in building and manufacturing. Exchange of junior researchers is emphasized to add an international dimension to their training and to allow them to establish international connections early in their careers.
