Travel Support for U.S. Participants in the Third International Conference in Earthquake Engineering

马里兰州/帕克学院2004年10月在中国南京召开了一次国际会议，会议重点讨论了地震工程的最新研究及其向技术依赖型研究和基于中心和网络的研究的转变。这笔旅费赠款将支持大约15名美国研究人员参加会议，其中包括学生、年轻人和代表性不足的团体成员以及美中地震协议计划的受资助者。 这次会议预计将导致美国和中国的研究人员在地震工程，结构健康监测，传感器技术和结构控制领域的合作研究。也有可能通过试验台、交流研究数据和跨界培训学生和研究人员进行技术转让。

Abstract0414433Peter ChangUniv Maryland/College ParkAn international conference emphasizing on the state of the arts research of earthquake engineering and its transformation to technology-dependent research and center and network based research is organized in Nanjing, China in October 2004. This travel grant will support approximately 15 US researchers, including student, young and under-represented group members and US-PRC Earthquake Protocol Program grantees to attend the conference. The conference is expected to lead to collaborative research between US and PRC researchers in the areas of earthquake engineering, structural health monitoring, sensors technology, and structural control. Technology transfer through test-beds, exchange of research data and training of students and researchers across the borders is also likely.
