Workshop: Fluid Power Advanced Manufacturing; Minneapolis, Minnesota; May 24-25, 2016

该奖项支持流体动力先进制造研讨会。流体动力是一种独特的动力传递和运动控制方法。流体动力的两个主要领域是液压学和气动学。流体动力广泛用于工业和移动的应用中。例如，包括建筑机械和农业设备的许多越野车辆使用流体动力来推进车辆并进行工作功能。通过流体动力传输的能量每年占2至2.9 Quads（或QuadratureBTU）。先进制造，如增材制造，为提高流体动力部件和系统的性能和效率提供了新的机会。该研讨会将有助于将制造创新与基于模型的设计和分析联系起来，以实现新的流体动力系统和应用。研讨会的目的是确定竞争前的研究需求和方法，将制造创新与基于模型的设计和分析相结合，用于流体动力部件和系统。研讨会将在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行。将邀请制造、流体动力元件和系统、系统建模、分析和控制方面的研究人员参加研讨会。组委会将与行业顾问团队合作，选择全体演讲嘉宾。研讨会将持续两天，包括全体会议和分组会议。组织委员会将汇编一份关于研讨会成果的综合报告，其中包括与会者名单、发言、全体会议和分组会议讨论的说明。该报告将概述将先进制造与基于模型的设计和流体动力分析相结合的主要挑战和方法。

This award supports a workshop on fluid power advanced manufacturing. Fluid power is a unique method for power transfer and motion control. The two major domains of fluid power are hydraulics and pneumatics. Fluid power is widely used in industrial and mobile applications. For example, many off-road vehicles including construction machines and agriculture equipment use fluid power to propel the vehicle and conduct working functions. The amount of energy transmitted through fluid power accounts for 2 to 2.9 Quads (or quadrillion BTUs) per year. Advanced manufacturing, such as additive manufacturing, offers new opportunities for improving performance and efficiency of fluid power components and systems. The workshop will help to connect the manufacturing innovations with model-based design and analysis to enable new fluid power systems and applications.The objective of the workshop is to identify the pre-competitive research needs and approaches of integrating manufacturing innovations with model-based design and analysis for fluid power components and systems. The workshop will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Researchers in manufacturing, fluid power components and systems, system modeling, analysis and control will be invited to attend the workshop. The organizing committee will work with the industry advisory team to select plenary speakers. The workshop will last two days and consists of both plenary sessions and breakout sessions. The organizing committee will compile a comprehensive report on the workshop outcomes that include a list of participants, presentations, notes from the plenary session and breakout session discussions. The report will outline the main challenges and approaches in integrating advanced manufacturing with model based design and analysis for fluid power.
