I/UCRC: Center for NDE Renewal

爱荷华州立大学无损评估(NDE)行业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)最初成立的目的是从事行业赞助商感兴趣的无损评估问题的研究；增加具有无损评估工程专业知识的学生基础；并建立无损评估技术转让的协调中心。为了应对不断变化的社会需求，这些措施已大大扩展，以解决系统集成和其他社会计量需求的新问题。新的目标包括实现无损检测与现代结构系统的制造和生命周期规划的集成，引领先进无损检测能力的国际发展，并将核心测量专业知识应用于非结构材料应用。

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) at Iowa State University was originally formed with the objectives of pursuing research in NDE problems of interest to industrial sponsors; increasing the base of students with expertise in NDE engineering; and establishing a focal point for NDE technology transfer. In response to the changing needs of society, these have been significantly extended to address new issues of system integration and other societal measurement needs. The new goals include enabling the integration of NDE with manufacturing and life-cycle planning of modern structural systems, leading the international development of advanced NDE capabilities, and applying core measurement expertise to nonstructural material applications.
