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

该项目将支持美国参与者参加在波士顿举行的先进智能材料和智能结构技术国际研讨会。 研讨会将确定智能材料和智能结构技术领域的高优先级新兴研究问题，以应用于结构健康监测。 它还将确定研究人员可以利用亚太地区不同国际研究中心资源的合作研究主题和机制。研讨会的重点之一将是利用新兴的生物启发智能系统在传感驱动，网络和决策参与结构健康监测。 该计划包括青年研究人员和研究生的大力参与。 该研讨会将促进与来自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中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.
