PIRE: US-Asia Network of Centers for Intelligent Structural Health Management of Safety-Critical Structures

国际研究和教育合作伙伴关系（PIRE）2007摘要建议编号：0730259 PI：Sridhar Krishnaswamy机构：西北大学标题：[PIRE：美国-亚洲安全关键结构智能结构健康管理中心网络（ISHM）]该项目将与美国，印度，中国和韩国合作开展一项国际研究和教育项目，建立一个美国-亚洲中心网络，用于安全关键航空航天，机械和民用结构的智能结构健康管理基础研究。 其目的是开发适用于各学科和不同全球环境的ISHM系统。 西北大学机械工程教授兼质量工程故障预防中心主任Sridhar Krishnaswamy领导了与伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、中国哈尔滨工业大学、印度马德拉斯理工大学、印度国家航空航天实验室、韩国釜山国立大学、通用电气印度技术中心、古德里奇公司、霍尼韦尔和波音公司的合作。 在美国方面，这个为期五年的项目将培养22名研究生和10名本科生。该PIRE将实施广泛的师生研究交流计划，以开发用于在线诊断的新型传感器系统，开发用于离线非破坏性表征的先进仪器，研究材料降解机制以获得相关材料系统的损伤增长规律，并开发预测结构剩余寿命的概率方法。 国际合作伙伴包括中国哈尔滨工业大学土木工程和工程材料教授欧锦平;印度钦奈印度理工学院机械工程教授Krishnan Balasubramaniam;韩国釜山国立大学机械工程教授Joon-Hyun Lee。 美国研究人员将在国际合作伙伴的地点进行部分研究，每次为期约四个月。 学生的国际培训包括与行业实习。 土木、机械制造创新部门共同资助该奖项。*

Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) 2007ABSTRACTProposal No: 0730259PI: Sridhar Krishnaswamy Institution: Northwestern UniversityTitle: [PIRE: US-Asia Network of Centers for Intelligent Structural Health Management of Safety-Critical Structures (ISHM)]This project will join U.S., Indian, Chinese and South Korean partners in an international research and education project to establish a US-Asian network of centers for basic research on Intelligent Structural Health Management of safety-critical aerospace, mechanical, and civil structures. The aim is to develop ISHM systems that are applicable across disciplines and in diverse global settings. Sridhar Krishnaswamy, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Center for Quality Engineering & Failure Prevention at Northwestern University leads a partnership with the University of Illinois, Chicago; Harbin Institute of Technology, China; Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India; National Aerospace Labs, India; Pusan National University, South Korea; GE India Technology Center; Goodrich Corporation; Honeywell; and Boeing. On the U.S. side, this five-year project will train 22 graduate students, and 10 undergraduate students.This PIRE will implement an extensive exchange program of faculty and student research to develop novel sensor systems for on-line diagnostics, develop advanced instrumentation for off-line non-destructive characterization, investigate material degradation mechanisms to obtain damage growth laws for relevant material systems, and develop probabilistic methods for prognosis of the remaining lifetime of a structure. The international partners include Jinping Ou, Professor of Civil Engineering and Engineering Materials at Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China; Krishnan Balasubramaniam, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai, India; and Joon-Hyun Lee, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Pusan National University, Pusan, Korea. U.S. researchers will conduct part of their research at the international partners' sites through several extended visits of about four months' duration each. The international training for the students includes internships with industry. The Division of Civil, Mechanical & Manufacturing Innovation is co-funding this award.***
