0941496This award will support travel for ten U.S. participants to the U.S.-India Workshop: Forensic Engineering (FE) and Curriculum Development , National Institute of Technology at Tiruchirapalli (NIT-T), India, December 2010. The co-organizers of the 5-day activity are Professors Shen-en Chen, Department of Civil Engineering, University of North Carolina at Charlotte and C. Natarajan, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, NIT-T. The objective of this workshop is to enhance performance and failure analysis of civil infrastructures and to promote bilateral collaborative research and curriculum development. Intellectual Merit U.S. scholars will have the opportunity to work with Indian counterparts on developing new tools, methodologies, and investigative techniques for forensic engineering. While this field is not well developed in India, engineers at Indian institutions of higher learning have extensive practice performing forensic investigations. There will be a review of US and Indian forensic engineering practices plus an overview of advanced sensing techniques used in forensic work. US participants will have the opportunity to make site visits to Indian universities and to the Structural Engineering Research Center (SERC) in Chennai with the idea of seeding collaborations with Indian researchers. Particular attention will be given to developing new structural failure theories and design approaches leading to improved technical understanding. Broader Impacts The proposed effort is aimed at developing a forensic engineering curriculum as well as collaborative research and education in forensic engineering. This includes the establishment of a UNC & NIT-T joint research laboratory and a centralized global data base of failed structures. Four US graduates and undergraduates will be participants and will have the opportunity to participate in an international research and culturally rich experience. The activity is expected to contribute to enhancing FE theory and practice, instrumentation development, and new methodologies for data synthesis and interpretation.

0941496该奖项将资助 10 名美国参与者参加 2010 年 12 月在印度蒂鲁吉拉伯利国家理工学院 (NIT-T) 举行的美国-印度研讨会：法证工程 (FE) 和课程开发。为期 5 天的活动的共同组织者是北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校土木工程系的 Shen-en Chen 教授和该项目负责人 C. Natarajan。 土木工程系，NIT-T。 本次研讨会的目的是加强民用基础设施的性能和故障分析，并促进双边合作研究和课程开发。 智力优势 美国学者将有机会与印度同行合作开发法医工程的新工具、方法和调查技术。 虽然这一领域在印度尚未得到充分发展，但印度高等院校的工程师在进行法医调查方面拥有广泛的实践。 将对美国和印度的法医工程实践进行回顾，并对法医工作中使用的先进传感技术进行概述。 美国参与者将有机会实地考察印度大学和钦奈的结构工程研究中心 (SERC)，以期与印度研究人员开展合作。 将特别关注开发新的结构失效理论和设计方法，以提高技术理解。 更广泛的影响 拟议的工作旨在开发法医工程课程以及法医工程领域的合作研究和教育。 这包括建立 UNC 和 NIT-T 联合研究实验室以及失败结构的集中式全球数据库。 四名美国研究生和本科生将成为参与者，并将有机会参与国际研究和丰富的文化体验。 该活动预计将有助于加强有限元理论和实践、仪器开发以及数据合成和解释的新方法。
