U.S.-Taiwan Workshop on Smart Structural Technology for Seismic Hazard Mitigation

0620571杨本次美国-台湾减轻地震灾害智能结构技术研讨会将于2006年10月12-14日在台湾台北举行。是次工作坊由加州大学欧文分校杨扬教授及台湾大学蔡国强教授合办。为减轻地震灾害，提出了涉及新的传感器硬件、健康监测算法和软件以及结构振动控制的创新概念。通过汇聚来自美国和台湾的顶尖研究人员，这次研讨会旨在确定互惠互利的研究合作领域，并提供一个论坛，探索促进这种合作的具体方法。初级研究人员和研究生的参与将使他们接触到各自领域的尖端研究想法，并帮助他们建立一个国际联系网络。美国国家科学基金会的国际科学与工程办公室和土木工程与机械系统分部正在联合支持参加研讨会的美国人。

0620571YangThis U.S.-Taiwan Workshop on Smart Structural Technology for Seismic Hazard Mitigation will take place October 12-14, 2006 in Taipei, Taiwan. The workshop is co-organized by Professor Jann Yang of University of California - Irvine and Professor K.C. Tsai of National Taiwan University. Innovative concepts involving new sensor hardware, health monitoring algorithms and software, and structural vibration control have been proposed for seismic hazard mitigation. By bringing together leading researchers from the United States and Taiwan, this workshop is intended to identify areas for mutually beneficial research collaboration, and provide a forum to explore specific approaches for advancing such collaborations. The participation of junior researchers and graduate students will expose them to cutting-edge research ideas in their field, as well as help them to develop a network of international contacts. NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems are jointly supporting U.S. participants in the workshop.
