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

摩擦搅拌加工中心（CFSP）IIP-034383南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSMT）Arbegast IIP-0934319南卡罗来纳州大学（USC）雷诺兹IIP-0934377杨百翰大学（BYU）纳尔逊该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。该提案要求为摩擦搅拌加工中心（CFSP）的SDSMT、南加州大学和杨百翰大学的场地提供NSF资金的五个后方更新。该中心，由这三个网站，成立于2204年，目前有两个额外的网站（威奇托州立大学和密苏里州科技大学）谁后来加入。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，研究新兴固态材料连接和加工技术（称为摩擦搅拌焊接和摩擦搅拌加工）的开发，验证和工业实施。CFSP继续执行基础和应用研究计划，以解决该中心的工业和政府赞助商的实施需求。具体研究领域包括：摩擦搅拌连接（FSJ），摩擦搅拌加工（FSP），摩擦搅拌点焊（FSSW），摩擦搅拌后处理，摩擦搅拌结构设计和分析，摩擦搅拌智能控制器和高效工具，以及摩擦搅拌成本效益分析。该中心在档案期刊和会议论文集上发表了许多出版物，该中心也取得了显着的商业成功。通过大学，地方，区域，国家和国际参与中心活动，对社区产生更广泛的影响。中心的成员来自国家和国际两级。此外，参与的大学与当地（美洲土著人）学院和社区技术学校之间已经作出了若干合作安排，以便进行技术转让和提供合作教育机会。CFSP的每个站点都支持外部活动，以促进教育机会并提高世界对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.
