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该奖项将支持10名美国参与者前往美国的旅行-印度讲习班：法医工程（FE）和课程开发，Tiruchirapalli国家技术学院（NIT-T），印度，2010年12月。 为期5天的活动的共同主办者是北卡罗来纳州夏洛特大学土木工程系陈慎恩教授和C。Natarajan，NIT-T土木工程系主任。 该讲习班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编制。 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发展得不好，但印度高等院校的工程师在进行法医调查方面有着广泛的实践。 将有一个美国和印度法医工程实践的审查，加上在法医工作中使用的先进传感技术的概述。 美国参与者将有机会实地访问印度大学和钦奈的结构工程研究中心（SERC），并与印度研究人员开展合作。 将特别注意发展新的结构失效理论和设计方法，从而提高技术理解。 更广泛的影响-拟议的努力旨在开发法医工程课程以及法医工程的合作研究和教育。 这包括建立一个联合研究实验室和一个关于失效结构的全球集中数据库。 四名美国毕业生和本科生将参加，并将有机会参加国际研究和丰富的文化经验。 预计该活动将有助于加强FE理论和实践，仪器开发，以及数据合成和解释的新方法。
