International Workshop: Estimation of Time or Cycles to Failure of Aging Components and Systems; Changwon, Korea; June 14-17, 2014

老化的基础设施，如桥梁、水坝、飞机、核反应堆、石油和天然气管道以及其他复杂系统的管理已经成为问题。卡特里娜飓风;明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市35号州际公路大桥和康涅狄格州米亚纳斯河大桥坍塌；福岛第一核电站的灾难就是最近的显著例子。考虑到韩国在先进技术和制造业方面的国际领先地位，将在昌原举行国际研讨会，并参观韩国科学技术院。来自德国、印度、韩国、法国、英国、中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国的国际研究人员将交换意见，改进与老龄化和高风险复杂系统管理有关的方法。改善这些系统的管理将有利于美国的经济和社会。一本合订本将总结讲习班并为今后提供建议。在后福岛核事故时代，工程师们面临着越来越大的责任，他们需要开发出新的、更有效的工具，用于测试数据收集和挖掘、微结构成像、损伤诊断、终身故障建模以及成本效益风险平衡分析，以确保公众的安全。本次研讨会将讨论基于使用寿命预测的物理知识差距，以及快速发展的无损评估和结构监测系统所带来的好处。研讨会的一个重点是疲劳行为和失效时间或周期的估计，包括新一代抗疲劳材料。贡献将在基础水平上，高度优先分配给革命性的实验和模拟方法，以支持材料基因组计划。

The management of aging infrastructure such as bridges, dams, aircraft, nuclear reactors, oil and gas pipelines, and other complex systems has come into question. Hurricane Katrina; the Interstate 35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the Mianus River Bridge collapse in Connecticut; and the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant serve as recent notable examples. Due to the status of South Korea as an emerging international leader in advanced technology and manufacturing, an international workshop will be held in Changwon with a follow on visit to the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. International researchers from Germany, India, South Korea, France, the United Kingdom, the People's Republic of China, and the United States of America will exchange ideas for improved approaches related to the management of aging and high risk complex systems. Improved management of such systems will benefit the U.S. economy and society. A bound volume will summarize the workshop and provide recommendations for the future. In the post-Fukushima era, engineers are faced with increasing responsibility to come up with new and more effective tools for test data collection and mining, microstructural imaging, damage diagnostics, life-to-failure modeling, and cost-benefit risk-balanced analysis for time-critical decision-making to ensure the safety of the public. This workshop will address the knowledge gaps in the physics based prediction of service life and the benefits to be offered by rapidly evolving nondestructive evaluation and structural monitoring systems. A focus of the workshop is on fatigue behavior and estimation of time or cycles to failure, including a new generation of fatigue resistant materials. Contributions will be on a fundamental level with high priority assigned to revolutionary experimental and simulation approaches to support the materials genome initiative.
