Planning Visit to Korea: Model Reconciliation and Estimation in Rotating Machinery

该奖项支持弗吉尼亚大学机械与航空航天工程系的Eric Maslen赴韩国首尔进行为期一周的项目规划之旅。Maslen教授计划与首尔大学机械航空航天学院教授韩东哲（音）确定合作研究的具体内容。最近，两所大学就促进韩国研究生访问弗吉尼亚的研究项目达成了协议。这导致了一种熟悉和信心，保证了更实质性的研究伙伴关系。两位教员的共同兴趣是通过工程分析和实验数据的结合来建立旋转机械的动态模型。他们最近的研究经验和专业知识是互补的，他们希望通过协调分工进行合作。除了产生新知识之外，预期的研究还将通过参与的美国研究生和本科生获得的国际经验而具有教育价值。此外，旋转机械是世界上最大的化石燃料和核燃料“消费者”。正在计划中的研究将导致机器设计的改进，以提高效率和降低燃料使用，这将带来明显的环境和经济效益。

0310161MaslenThis award supports a one-week project planning trip to Seoul, Korea for Eric Maslen of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of Virginia. Professor Maslen intends to finalize the details of a collaborative research relationship with Professor Dong-Chul Han of the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Seoul National University. The two institutions recently agreed on a program that facilitates research visits to Virginia by Korean graduate students. These have led to a familiarity and confidence that warrants a more substantive research partnership. The mutual interest of the two faculty members is the dynamic modeling of rotating machinery through a combination of engineering analysis and experimental data. Their recent research experience and expertise is complementary, and they expect to collaborate through a coordinated division of labor. Beyond generating new knowledge, the anticipated research will have educational value through the international experience to be gained by participating U.S. graduate and undergraduate students. Furthermore, rotating machinery is the largest "consumer" of both fossil and nuclear fuels worldwide. The research being planned should lead to improvement in machine design for greater efficiency and lower fuel use, which carries with it obvious environmental and economic benefits.
