Collaborative Research: A TIE Research Program on E-Design for Friction Stir Welding and Processing

密苏里大学罗拉分校现有的搅拌摩擦加工工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)和弗吉尼亚理工学院的I/UCRC电子设计合作研究中心(I/UCRC)联合开展了一个合作研究项目，旨在将搅拌摩擦工艺(FSP)引入设计界。该项目将为产品设计师提供一个统一的工具，通过引入关于功能、形状、形状、尺寸、材料、制造工艺、工装、生命周期成本、测试和质量的离散和分散的知识来综合解决方案。FSP案例库的创建将是此类案例的第一次，预计它将对正在考虑使用FSP的该领域的研究人员和从业人员非常有帮助。

The existing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Friction Stir Processing at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and the I/UCRC for E-Design at Virginia Polytechnic Institute have joined to do a collaborative research project designed to bring Friction Stir Process (FSP) to the design community. The project will provide a unifying tool to the product designer to synthesize solutions by bringing in discrete and distributed pieces of knowledge about function, form, shape, size, materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, life cycle cost, testing, and quality. The creation of the FSP case repository will be the first of its kind and it is anticipated to be very helpful for researchers and practitioners in the field that are considering using FSP.
