0536661NayfehDescription: This award is to support a "US-Tunisia Workshop on research and educational advances in the design and fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)" to be held in Hammamet, Tunisia in December 2006 Tunisia in concurrence with the International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering (ICAME2006). The US organizer is Professor Ali H. Nayfeh, Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). The Tunisian organizers are Drs. Slim Choura and Sami El-Borgi of the Tunisia Polytechnic School. The workshop will be hosted by the Applied Mechanics and Systems Research Laboratory at the Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) and the Tunisian National Institute of Scientific and Technical Research, and will be held in conjunction with the Third International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics. These combined efforts will ensure a broad participation of senior and junior scientists from the US, Tunisia, and other countries. Technical Merits: The workshop objectives are to (a) discuss research and educational issues and trends related to MEMS technology, (b) offer opportunities for the initiation of research projects and strengthening existing ones between the American and Tunisian participants, and (c) address issues related to the needs of the local industry to MEMS technology. The focus will be on up-to-date research and development of MEMS technology and its applications to microsensors, microactuators, opto-mechanical and fluidic microsystems, biomedical microdevices, and nano-electro-mechanical devices. One day will be set aside to discuss research trends and future needs to MEMS technology, and explore possible joint collaboration projects between Tunisian and American universities. The workshop will provide an opportunity to make use of the collective experiences of many experts in the field of MEMS with emphasis on design tools, fabrication technologies, materials, and electro-mechanical integration techniques.Broader Impact: The workshop is expected to enhance the scientific collaboration between the scientists of the two countries and the creation and design of graduate course(s) on MEMS mechanics and materials for the American and Tunisian universities. It will allow scientists from the U.S. and Tunisia to exchange their research and teaching experiences, ideas, and information and to initiate new and strengthen existing collaborations to promote MEMS technology for the benefit of the public and private sectors. Participants will include two junior U.S. researchers as well as junior scientists and PhD students from Tunisia, thus increasing the potential for future collaboration. Since MEMS technology is becoming central to mechanics and materials engineering education, the PIs will transition main developments of this research to the classroom. Basic concepts of MEMS design and fabrication, to be suggested by the participants during the workshop, will be proposed for a new graduate course(s) at Virginia Tech. as well as in the Computational Mechanics Master's Program offered at TPS. A published proceeding will be made available to the workshop participants. Also announcements for this workshop will be available on the World Wide Web at Virginia Tech.

0536661 Nayfeh描述：该奖项是为了支持“美国-突尼斯研讨会的研究和教育进展的设计和制造的微机电系统（MEMS）”将在哈马马特，突尼斯在2006年12月举行的同时，在机械工程进展国际会议（ICAME 2006）。 美国的组织者是Ali H. Nayfeh，工程科学和力学系，弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学（弗吉尼亚理工大学）。突尼斯的组织者是突尼斯理工学院的Slim Choura博士和Sami El-Borgi博士。 该讲习班将由突尼斯理工学院应用力学和系统研究实验室和突尼斯国家科学技术研究所主办，并将与第三届机械工程和力学进展国际会议一起举行。 这些共同努力将确保来自美国、突尼斯和其他国家的高级和初级科学家的广泛参与。技术优点：讲习班的目标是：（a）讨论与微机电系统技术有关的研究和教育问题及趋势;（B）为启动研究项目和加强美国和突尼斯与会者之间的现有项目提供机会;（c）解决与当地工业对微机电系统技术的需求有关的问题。重点将是最新的研究和开发的MEMS技术及其应用的微传感器，微执行器，光机械和流体微系统，生物医学微器件，和纳米机电设备。 将留出一天时间讨论MEMS技术的研究趋势和未来需求，并探讨突尼斯和美国大学之间可能的联合合作项目。研讨会将提供一个机会，利用MEMS领域的许多专家的集体经验，重点是设计工具，制造技术，材料和机电集成技术。预计该讲习班将加强两国科学家之间的科学合作以及研究生课程的创建和设计为美国和突尼斯大学提供MEMS力学和材料方面的培训。它将允许来自美国和突尼斯的科学家交流他们的研究和教学经验，想法和信息，并启动新的和加强现有的合作，以促进MEMS技术，为公共和私营部门的利益。参与者将包括两名美国初级研究人员以及来自突尼斯的初级科学家和博士生，从而增加了未来合作的潜力。 由于MEMS技术正在成为力学和材料工程教育的核心，PI将把这项研究的主要发展转移到课堂上。 MEMS设计和制造的基本概念，将建议由与会者在研讨会期间，将提出一个新的研究生课程（S）在弗吉尼亚理工大学。以及在TPS提供的计算力学硕士课程。 将向研讨会与会者提供已出版的会议记录。此外，本次研讨会的公告将在弗吉尼亚理工大学的万维网上提供。
