International Workshop on Advanced Smart Materials and Smart Structures Technology (2009)

该项目将支持美国与会者参加在波士顿举行的关于先进智能材料和智能结构技术的国际研讨会的旅行。研讨会将确定用于结构健康监测的智能材料和智能结构技术领域新出现的高度优先的研究问题。它还将确定研究人员可以开展的合作研究主题和机制，以利用亚太地区不同国际研究中心的资源。研讨会的重点之一将是利用新兴的生物启发智能系统来感知结构健康监测中涉及的驱动、联网和决策。该项目包括年轻研究人员和研究生的大力参与。研讨会将促进与亚太地区的国际研究人员交流想法、研究数据、设施和资源，以解决结构健康监测方面共同感兴趣的紧迫研究问题。

This project will support the travel of US participants in an international workshop on Advanced Smart Materials and Smart Structures Technology to be held in Boston. The workshop will identify the high priority emerging research issues in the area of smart materials and smart structures technology for application to structural health monitoring. It will also identify the collaborative research topics and mechanism that can be pursued by researchers to leverage the resources of different international research centers in the Asia-Pacific region. One of the workshop foci will be on utilization of emerging bio-inspired intelligent systems in sensing actuation, networking and decision making involved in structural health monitoring. The program includes a strong participation by young researchers and graduate students. The workshop will facilitate the exchange of ideas, research data, facilities, and resources with international researchers from the Asia-Pacific region to address the pressing research issues of common interest in structural health monitoring.
