I/UCRC: Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing

中心激光和等离子体先进制造IIP- 0934342密歇根大学这是一个建议，以更新密歇根大学的参与激光和等离子体先进制造中心，一个I/UCRC中心，成立于2002年。该中心最初是作为一个单一的大学中心建立的，目前已发展成为一个多大学中心，参与密歇根大学，安阿伯和南卫理公会大学。该中心的主要研究重点是激光在先进制造中的应用。所提出的工作的智力价值是发展智能制造所需的激光材料加工的原子水平的理解。所获得的知识将导致新的和新颖的材料和制造方法。在过去的四年里，密歇根大学在开发和实施基于激光的先进制造应用驱动的基础研究方面取得了长足的进步。密歇根大学的网站正在有效地工作，因为它得到了工业成员的大力支持，这些项目具有挑战性，显然很重要。密歇根大学的设备是大量的，讨论的项目，从激光焊接到直接金属沉积中残余应力的数学建模，都是雄心勃勃的，值得的。激光加工技术预计将增加远远超出今天的应用，因为研究提供了这一重要过程的改进发展。多所大学激光应用中心的综合努力为社会提供了巨大的利益，帮助美国工业在先进制造业中更具竞争力。密歇根大学的网站将提供教育和培训，为学生做好准备，以满足未来的劳动力需求。该大学将为研究生提供独特的体验，他们可以与工业研究人员和工程师进行互动和合作。该大学将继续通过雷乌斯让本科生参与进来。

Center for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing IIP- 0934342 University of Michigan This is a proposal to renew the University of Michigan's participation in the Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing center, an I/UCRC center that was created in 2002. The center was initially established as a single university center and currently has grown to a multi-university center with participation from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Southern Methodist University. The main focus of the center's research is in laser applications for advanced manufacturing. The intellectual merit of the proposed work is to develop atomic level understanding of the laser materials processing needed for intelligent manufacturing. The knowledge gained will lead to new and novel materials and manufacturing methodology. In the past four years, the University of Michigan site has made a big stride in developing and implementing application-driven basic research for laser-based advanced manufacturing. The University of Michigan site is working effectively as it is well supported by industrial members and the projects are challenging and clearly important. The equipment at the University of Michigan is substantial and the projects discussed, ranging from laser welding to mathematical modeling of residual stresses in direct metal deposition, are ambitious and worthwhile. Laser processing techniques are expected to increase well beyond the applications of today as research provides improved development of this important process. The integrated effort of multi-university center for laser applications provides a great benefit to the society in terms of helping US industries to be more competitive in advanced manufacturing. The University of Michigan site will provide education and training to prepare students to meet future workforce needs. The university will provide a unique experience to graduate students who can interact and collaborate with industrial researchers and engineers. The university will continue to involve undergraduate students through REUs.
