US-Jordan Workshop on Middle Eastern Research And Educational Advances In Structural Health Monitoring And Control

建议编号：OISE-0913197首席调查者：Ali Nayfeh研究所：弗吉尼亚理工学院标题：美国-约旦结构健康监测和控制中东研究和教育进展研讨会PI计划于2010年春季在约旦大学举办结构健康监测和控制(SHMC)研讨会。讲习班的目标有三个：(1)在约旦安曼主办为期三天的讲习班，讨论与私营部门和私营部门管理委员会有关的研究和教育问题及趋势；(2)为美国和中东参与者之间发起合作研究项目提供机会；以及(3)解决与私营部门和私营部门管理委员会当地工业需求有关的问题。研讨会将集中于SHMC的理论、数值和实验发展，以及它们在许多类型结构中的应用。研讨会将提供一个论坛，在SHMC传播新的科学、技术和实验概念。研讨会预计将对SHMC教育的发展产生更广泛的影响，并帮助年轻教师启动SHMC项目。本次研讨会将汇集SHMC领域的许多专家，讨论与新的理论、数值和实验方法相关的当前问题和趋势。这种互动将在美国教师和来自中东国家的合作伙伴之间产生协同效应。通过在SHMC领域建立具有国际维度的合作研究工作，它们可以互惠互利。预计这次研讨会将使SHMC的教育问题有更多的国际曝光率。申请的资金将为美国与会者提供差旅支持，他们将与来自摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、埃及、巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩等中东国家的与会者会面。对美国的好处包括(1)让地区参与者熟悉美国生产的实践、软件、执行器、仪器网络和传感器，以及(2)提高美国参与者在将SHMC技术应用于历史古迹和考古遗址方面的知识和专业技能。

Proposal Number: OISE-0913197Principal Investigator: Ali NayfehInstitution: Virginia Polytechnic InstituteTitle: US-Jordan Workshop on Middle Eastern Research and Educational Advances in Structural Health Monitoring and ControlThe PI plans to hold a workshop on structural health monitoring and control (SHMC) at Jordan University in the spring of 2010. The objectives of the workshop are threefold: (1) to host a three-day workshop in Amman, Jordan to discuss research and educational issues and trends related to SHMC, (2) to offer opportunities for the initiation of collaborative research projects between the American and Middle Eastern participants, and (3) to address issues related to the needs of local industry in SHMC. The workshop will be focused on theoretical, numerical, and experimental developments in SHMC and their application to many types of structures. The workshop will provide a forum to disseminate new scientific, technical, and experimental concepts in SHMC. The workshop is expected to have a broader impact on the advancement of SHMC education and to help young faculty initiate SHMC programs. This workshop will bring together many experts in the field of SHMC to discuss current issues and trends related to new theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. This interaction will create synergy between American faculty and partners from Middle Eastern countries. They can mutually benefit by establishing collaborative research work in the field of SHMC with an international dimension. It is anticipated that this workshop will give the SHMC education issues greater international exposure. The funds requested will provide travel support for US participants who will meet with participants from Middle Eastern countries including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, and Lebanon. Among the benefits to the US are (1) familiarizing the regional participants with US practices, software, actuators, instrumentation networks, and sensors produced in the US, and (2) advancing the knowledge and expertise of US participants in the area of applying SHMC techniques to historical monuments and archeological sites.
