This award supports a planning workshop for a new Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) aimed at improving composite material joining and repair (CJAR) technologies. Composite materials are vital to the health and competitiveness of several important industry sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, energy, and aerospace. As composites involve different compositions and element concentration/orientation and tolerances that vary widely, current CJAR practices are highly specialized, labor-intensive, and require experienced technicians to complete the critical inspection, maintenance and repair jobs. Partner institutions including Georgia Institute of Technology, Oakland University, and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville will work collaboratively with various industrial companies, in the automotive, aerospace, energy, and bio-medical sectors of the US economy. The Georgia Tech Site of D-CJAR will primarily work with firms in materials (Chomarat, Henkel, Owens Corning), aerostructures manufacturing (Boeing, Fokker Aerostructures, Lockheed Martin), system operators/maintenance providers (AFSC-Robins AFB, Delta), and equipment vendors (Optomec, Siemens). Faculty and student teams at the partner universities will work with industry members to conduct precompetitive research to develop and disseminate basic and applied technologies/knowledge to facilitate rapid, reliable, and cost-effective composite joining and repair, with an overall goal of significantly reducing costs, cycle time, and variation of CJAR operations within ten (10) years.With the goal of transforming the current labor-intensive and specialized processes into science-based, automated, digital CJAR processes, the Georgia Tech Site of D-CJAR will primarily focus on developing CJAR technologies for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aerostructures, automobiles, and infrastructure. We expect advances in several fields and knowledge domains around CJAR, including (1) design and analysis, (2) materials and process engineering, (3) testing and NDE, and (4) data analytics. We will apply diverse advanced digital techniques, including advanced computational modeling, sensing, materials characterization, and machine learning to practical CJAR cases that will also advance the education and workforce preparedness of students working on projects at the partner universities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持一个新的产学合作研究中心（IUCRC）的规划研讨会，旨在改善复合材料连接和修复（CCED）技术。复合材料对几个重要工业部门的健康和竞争力至关重要，包括汽车，制造业，能源和航空航天。由于复合材料涉及不同的成分和元素浓度/取向以及差异很大的公差，因此目前的Crocket实践是高度专业化的，劳动密集型的，需要经验丰富的技术人员来完成关键的检查，维护和维修工作。包括格鲁吉亚理工学院、奥克兰大学和田纳西-诺克斯维尔大学在内的合作机构将与美国经济中汽车、航空航天、能源和生物医学领域的各种工业公司合作。D-Cjar的格鲁吉亚技术基地将主要与材料公司（Chomarat、Henkel、Owens Corning）、飞机结构制造公司（波音、Fokker Aerostructures、洛克希德·马丁）、系统运营商/维护提供商（AFSC-Robins AFB、Delta）和设备供应商（Optomec、西门子）合作。合作大学的教师和学生团队将与行业成员合作进行竞争前研究，以开发和传播基础和应用技术/知识，以促进快速，可靠和具有成本效益的复合材料连接和修复，总体目标是显着降低成本，周期时间，十年内，CCED操作的变化。目标是将当前的劳动密集型和专业化流程转变为基于科学的自动化数字CCED流程，位于格鲁吉亚的D-Crock技术基地将主要致力于开发Crock技术，用于飞机结构、汽车和基础设施的维护、修理和大修。我们期待着围绕CCED的几个领域和知识领域的进步，包括（1）设计和分析，（2）材料和工艺工程，（3）测试和NDE，以及（4）数据分析。我们将应用各种先进的数字技术，包括先进的计算建模，传感，材料表征，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.
