目标：反射裂纹控制处理和设计程序：一种新的综合方法提案号：0219566pi: Glaucio H. Paulino， Philip Blankenship和William buttlar摘要伊利诺伊大学将与科赫材料公司的研究人员和工作人员合作，大力扩展反射裂纹控制系统中损伤机制的基础知识。业界和学术界的合作伙伴将通过先进的实验室测试和仪器程序，开发新的模型来解决上述问题。作为该合资企业的行业合作伙伴，科氏材料公司将提供：(1)年度配套资金；(2)技术专长，包括获得现场安装和性能数据；(3) UIUC实验室测试的实验室和现场材料；(4)通过在堪萨斯州威奇托国家实验室的长期实地考察和博士论文委员会的服务，指导UIUC的学生。与伊利诺伊大学“肯特纪念奖学金基金”相结合，匹配基金被提议在要求的NSF GOALI基金的168%的水平。伊利诺伊大学加州分校的计算和实验室设施都是世界级的，包括国家超级计算应用中心（NCSA）和先进交通研究与工程实验室（ATREL）。由于提议的三方合作，研究团队将由两名跨学科教师、三名博士生、每年一名本科生研究助理、科赫材料公司的几名行业研究人员以及每年至少一名来自ATREL举办的夏季研究生少数族裔项目的学生组成。

GOALI: Reflective Crack Control Treatment and Design Procedures:A New Integrated Approach Proposal Number: 0219566PIs: Glaucio H. Paulino, Philip Blankenship and William ButtlarAbstract The University of Illinois will collaborate with researchers and staff from Koch Materials Company to vigorously expand fundamental knowledge of damage mechanisms in reflective crack control systems. The industry-academia partners will address the aforementioned problem through an advanced laboratory testing and instrumentation program, development of new models to field performance data. As the industry partner to this venture, Koch Materials Company will provide: (1) annual matching funds; (2) technical expertise, including access to field installation and performance data; (3) laboratory and field materials for laboratory testing at UIUC, and; (4) mentoring of UIUC students through extended site visits at the national laboratory in Wichita, Kansas, and by serving on doctoral thesis committees. Combined with the University of Illinois "Kent Memorial Scholarship Fund," matching funds are proposed at a level of 168% of the requested NSF GOALI funds. The computational and laboratory facilities available at UIUC to bear upon the proposed research problem are truly world-class, and include the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Advance Transportation Research and Engineering Laboratory (ATREL). As a result of the proposed three-way leveraging, the research team will consist of two cross-discipline faculty members, three doctoral students, one undergraduate research assistant per year, several industry researchers from Koch Materials Company, and at least one student per year from the Summer Graduate Minority Program hosted at ATREL, each summer.
