Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Integrative Materials Joining Science for Energy Applications0934093 Ohio State University; Sudarsanam Babu0934100 University of Wisconsin-Madison; Sindo Kou0934116 Lehigh University; John DuPont0934129 Colorado School of Mines; Stephen Liu The Center for Integrative Materials Joining Science for Energy Applications will focus on the diverse need for materials in energy industries, and on developing scientific methodologies to join these materials and predict their lifetime. Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Lehigh University and Colorado School of Mines are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with Ohio State University as the lead institution. The proposed Center is geared toward the development of joining methodologies for advanced materials that are being used/ developed for energy applications. The focus of the proposed center is to develop a better understanding of the key problems that have limited the use of these materials and develop scientific methodologies to overcome the problems. In addition to the scientific and technological issues, the Center will also address a critical issue threatening the manufacturing sector. With the declining workforce involved in welding and joining technology in the last decade, the potential member companies of this Center have shown interest in funding the Center activities, as a way of training future workforce with state-of-the-art characterization and modeling tools. The PIs are well-qualified and have adequate resources to conduct the proposed research. All four institutions in this Center plan to use the NSF planning grant fund to hold a meeting with prospective industrial partners to establish the proposed Center's organizational framework, and to establish research projects of greatest relevance. The proposed center will focus on developing joining methodologies that will eventually become core components of the curriculum within welding and joining engineering programs. The proposed Center will also offer mentoring programs for students from different ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If successful, the scientific methodologies will be used to develop state-of-the-art simulation tools that could benefit several industries.

整合材料与能源应用科学结合的I/UCRC计划补助金0934093俄亥俄州州立大学; Sudarsanam Babu 0934100威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校; Sindo Kou 0934116利哈伊大学; John DuPont 0934129科罗拉多矿业学院; Stephen Liu 能源应用综合材料科学中心将专注于能源行业对材料的多样化需求，并开发科学方法来连接这些材料并预测其寿命。俄亥俄州州立大学、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、利哈伊大学和科罗拉多矿业学院正在合作建立拟议中的中心，俄亥俄州州立大学将作为牵头机构。 拟议的中心是面向正在使用/开发用于能源应用的先进材料的连接方法的发展。拟议中心的重点是更好地了解限制使用这些材料的关键问题，并制定科学方法来克服这些问题。除了科学和技术问题，该中心还将解决威胁制造业的一个关键问题。 在过去的十年中，随着焊接和连接技术的劳动力减少，该中心的潜在成员公司对资助中心活动表现出兴趣，作为培训未来劳动力的一种方式，具有最先进的表征和建模工具。 研究主任具备良好的资格，并有足够的资源进行拟议的研究。该中心的所有四个机构都计划利用NSF规划赠款基金与潜在的工业合作伙伴举行会议，以建立拟议的中心的组织框架，并建立最相关的研究项目。拟议的中心将专注于开发连接方法，最终将成为焊接和连接工程课程的核心组成部分。 拟议中的中心还将为来自不同种族背景和代表性不足的群体的学生提供辅导计划。如果成功，科学方法将用于开发最先进的模拟工具，使多个行业受益。
