Collaborative Renewal Proposal: NSF Center for Friction Stir Processing I/UCRC

南卡罗莱纳大学（USC）雷诺兹杨百翰大学（BYU）尼尔森该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该提案要求NSF为SDSMT， USC和杨百翰大学摩擦搅拌处理中心（CFSP）的站点提供五年的资金更新。该中心由这三个地点组成，于二零零四年成立；目前还有另外两家网站（威奇托州立大学和密苏里科技大学）随后加入。牵头机构是SDSMT。CFSP的主要愿景是为工业/大学合作研究提供论坛，以开发，验证和工业实施新兴的固态材料连接和加工技术，即搅拌摩擦焊接和搅拌摩擦加工。CFSP继续执行基础和应用研究项目，以解决中心的工业和政府赞助商的实施需求。具体研究领域包括：搅拌摩擦焊（FSJ）、搅拌摩擦加工（FSP）、搅拌摩擦点焊（FSSW）、搅拌摩擦后处理、搅拌摩擦结构设计与分析、搅拌摩擦智能控制器与高效工装、搅拌摩擦成本效益分析。该中心在档案期刊和会议论文集上发表了许多出版物，并取得了显著的商业成功。通过大学、地方、区域、国家和国际参与中心活动，对社区产生了更广泛的影响。中心的成员来自国家和国际两级。此外，为了技术转让和合作教育机会，参与的大学与当地（美洲土著）学院和社区技术学校之间已经建立了若干组队安排。每个CFSP站点都支持外部活动，以促进教育机会和提高世界对FSW的认识。

Center for Friction Stir Processing (CFSP) IIP-034383 South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) Arbegast IIP-0934319 University of South Carolina (USC) Reynolds IIP-0934377 Brigham Young University (BYU) Nelson This award id funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The proposal requests a five rear renewal of NSF funding for the SDSMT, USC and BYU sites of the Center for Friction Stir Processing (CFSP). The Center, comprised of these three sites, was established in 2204; and currently has two additional sites (Wichita State University and Missouri University of Science and Technology) who joined later. The lead institution is SDSMT. The main vision of CFSP is to provide the forum for industry/university cooperative research on the development, validation, and industrial implementation of the emerging solid-state materials joining and processing technologies known as Friction Stir Welding and Friction Stir Processing. CFSP continues to perform basic and applied research programs that address the implementation needs of the Center's industrial and government sponsors. The specific research areas include: Friction Sir Joining (FSJ), Friction Stir Processing (FSP), friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW), Friction Stir Post-Processing, Friction Stir Structural Designs and Analysis, Friction Stir Intelligent Controllers and Efficient Tooling, and Friction Stir Cost Benefits Analysis. The Center has numerous publications in archival journals and conference proceedings, and notable commercial successes have also resulted from the Center. The broader impacts on the community are strongly built into the proposal through university, local, regional, national and international participation in the center activities. The membership of the Center is derived at a national and international level. In addition several teaming arrangements have already been established between the participating universities and local (Native American) colleges and community technical schools for the purpose of technology transfer and collaborative educational opportunities. Each CFSP site has supported outside activities to promote educational opportunities and to increase awareness of FSW in the world.
