IUCRC Renewal Proposal: NSF I/UCRC for Friction Stir Processing

该提案要求美国国家科学基金会为密苏里科技大学(密苏里S)摩擦搅拌处理中心提供的资金延长五年(第二阶段)。密苏里州S与科技大学于2005年被列入大学校址。该中心目前由南达科他州矿业与技术学院作为牵头机构，杨百翰大学、南卡罗来纳大学、威奇托州立大学和密苏里州S与技术学院为研究伙伴。这些机构聚集在一起建立了搅拌摩擦加工(FSP)I/UCRC，以重点满足航空航天、航空、能源、军事和商业行业在开发新兴固态金属连接和加工技术方面的需求。CFSP执行了基础和应用研究方案，以满足其工业和政府赞助商的实施需求。密苏里S公司专注于基本的加工组织-性能关系。此外，该站点也是开发用于非连接应用的搅拌摩擦处理技术的主要站点。除了学术出版物所表明的成功之外，密苏里州S&T；网站还带来了显著的商业成功。通过大学、地方、地区、国家和国际参与中心的活动，对社区的更广泛影响被强烈地纳入提案中。正在更新的密苏里州S和T CFSP网站PI曾在TMS会议期间担任FSW/P研讨会的组织者，编辑了ASM出版的第一本关于FSW/P的书籍，作为客座编辑组织了《Scrita Materialia》中关于摩擦搅拌过程基本原理的观点集，并与人合著了第一篇关于FSW/P的综述论文。TMS会议期间的FSW/P研讨会每两年组织一次，CFSP学生大量参与。所有这些活动都有助于CFSP在产生和传播有关摩擦搅拌过程的基础和应用知识方面实现更广泛的目标。正在更新的密苏里州S和T CFSP网站有两名博士后正在进行研究项目。在2010年5月的IAB会议上，正式规定每个站点将开发和实施自己的博士后指导计划。密苏里州S和T；T Site的指导计划包括培养博士后过渡到学术界或研究机构的技能的步骤。

This proposal requests a five year renewal (phase II) of NSF funding for the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) Center for Friction Stir Processing (CFSP) site. Missouri S&T was added as a university site in 2005. CFSP is currently comprised of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) as the lead institution, with Brigham Young University (BYU), the University of South Carolina (USC), Wichita State University (WSU), and Missouri S&T as research partners. These institutions were brought together to establish the Friction Stir Processing (FSP) I/UCRC to focus on the needs of the aerospace, aeronautic, energy, military and commercial industries in developing emerging solid-state metals joining and processing technology. The CFSP has performed basic and applied research programs that address the implementation needs of its industrial and government sponsors. Missouri S&T focuses on the fundamental processing microstructure-properties relationships. Also, this site is the primary site for development of friction stir processing technology for non-joining applications. In addition to the success indicated by academic publications, notable commercial successes have resulted from the Missouri S&T site. 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 renewing Missouri S&T CFSP site PI has worked as an organizer of FSW/P symposium during TMS meetings, edited the first book on FSW/P published by ASM, organized a Viewpoint Set in Scripta Materialia on the fundamentals of friction stir process as a Guest Editor and co-authored the first review paper on FSW/P. FSW/P symposium during TMS meeting is organized every two years and CFSP students participate in large numbers. All these activities help the broader goal of CFSP in generation and dissemination of fundamental and applied knowledge regarding the friction stir process. The renewing Missouri S&T CFSP Site has two post-docs in the research projects. During May 2010 IAB meeting, it was formalized that each site will develop and implement its own post-doc mentoring program. Missouri S&T site's mentoring program includes steps to develop post-doc's skills to transition into academia or research institutions.
