Proposal #: CNS 11-39364PI(s): Nelson, Tracy W.Institution: Brigham Young UniversityTitle: RAPID/IUCRC: An International University Collaborative Research Program between NSF/IUCRC CFSP Center and Tohoku University Project Proposed:This RAPID project, enabling graduate students from the Kokawa Laboratory from Tohoku University in Japan to go to Brigham Young University (BYU) to use the facilities and equipment available within the CFSP (Center for Friction Stir Processing, an NSF ENG I/UCRC) to continue performing essential research for short periods of time (2-6 weeks), responds to the disaster in the labs caused by the March 11 earthquake in Japan. Sensitive Optical and electron microscopy equipment were rendered unusable and are currently not on the priority list for immediate repair. Thus, the project aims to satisfy the following objectives:- Enable students to continue their research;- Engage graduate, undergraduate, and underrepresented students and faculty from five different countries in an international collaborative effort; - Expose students to a wider breadth of research and development in FSW&P;- Expand international networking opportunities; and- Enlarge the international database of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) processes and practices.The research work at both universities has a long history of producing outstanding intellectual results, as evidenced by more than 60 publications in Tohoku and more than 30 at BYU in this area in recent years. While at BYU, the students will be performing joint research in:- FSW of steels, stainless steels, and titanium alloys,- Tooling for FRW&P, and- Grain boundary engineering.The USA researchers collaborate with the Japanese investigators from Tohuku University, Dr. Hiroyuki Kokawa and Dr. Yutaka Sato. The former has co-authored a relevant book in the area, while the latter has spent a sabbatical year at BYU. Thus, a useful collaboration already exists. A letter of support and biographical sketch of the Japanese collaborator is included in the supplementary document. Broader Impacts: Students representing five different countries, along with faculty from Japan and USA will be engaged in this international collaborative research effort. Both undergraduate and graduate students will be invited to present their work to more than 20 industrial sponsors from around the world during annual and semi-annual CFSP meetings. The research will be broadly disseminated in the technical community in the form of journal papers and technical presentations.Obviously, contributing equipment to help in the completion of on-going research should enhance the USA students while enabling the exchange of ideas. In general, the project also contributes to train graduate and undergraduate students exposing them to high-impact application areas.

提案编号：CNS 11- 39364 PI（s）：纳尔逊，Tracy W.机构：杨百翰大学标题：RAPID/IUCRC：NSF/IUCRC CFSP中心和东北大学之间的国际大学合作研究计划拟议项目：这个RAPID项目使日本东北大学Kokawa实验室的研究生能够前往杨百翰大学（BYU）使用CFSP内的设施和设备（摩擦搅拌处理中心，NSF ENG I/UCRC）继续进行短期的必要研究（2-6周），应对3月11日日本地震造成的实验室灾难。敏感的光学和电子显微镜设备无法使用，目前不在立即修理的优先名单上。因此，该项目旨在满足以下目标：-使学生能够继续他们的研究;-让来自五个不同国家的研究生，本科生和代表性不足的学生和教师参与国际合作努力; -让学生接触FSW P更广泛的研究和开发;- 扩大国际联网机会;以及- 扩大搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）工艺和实践的国际数据库。近年来，东北大学和杨百翰大学在该领域的研究工作中，分别发表了60多篇和30多篇论文，在这方面取得了突出的学术成果。在杨百翰大学期间，学生们将在以下方面进行联合研究：-钢，不锈钢和钛合金的FSW，-FRW P的模具，以及-晶界工程。美国研究人员与来自东北大学的日本研究人员Hiroyuki Kokawa博士和Yutaka Sato博士合作。前者与人合著了一本有关该领域的书，而后者在杨百翰大学度过了一个休假年。因此，已经存在有益的合作。补充文件中包括一封支持信和日本合作者的简历。 更广泛的影响：代表五个不同国家的学生，沿着来自日本和美国的教师将参与这项国际合作研究工作。本科生和研究生将被邀请在年度和半年度CFSP会议期间向来自世界各地的20多个工业赞助商介绍他们的工作。该研究将以期刊论文和技术演示的形式在技术界广泛传播。显然，贡献设备以帮助完成正在进行的研究应该在促进思想交流的同时提高美国学生的水平。总的来说，该项目还有助于培训研究生和本科生，使他们接触高影响力的应用领域。
