Planning IUCRC at LSU & Agricultural and Mechanical College: Center for Innovations in Structural Integrity Assurance (CISIA)

路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）和路易斯安那理工大学（LA Tech）提议建立结构完整性保证创新中心（ccia）。基础设施和机械部件的结构完整性和可靠的寿命预测与每个公共和私营部门都有关系，从石油和天然气到航空航天，从建筑到能源加工行业。除了建立材料特性、基础设施性能和结构完整性之间联系的基础研究之外？这超出了当今大多数工业研发组织的范围？cisa的学术和工业成员将共同努力，培养在最先进的设施中接受培训的工程师，以利用现代结构健康监测和分析方法。这些工程师将加入高素质和富有成效的劳动力队伍，大大提高美国工业的全球竞争力。LSU网站专注于结构完整性和材料创新，重点是多尺度材料表征/测试和多尺度基于物理的建模/仿真，开展部件疲劳，磨损，寿命评估和无损加速测试的研究。通过整合经过验证的诊断、机器学习和数据驱动的决策，ccia将很好地阐明和转化新材料、制造工艺、服务历史之间的联系，以及它们对美国所有工业部门可靠性的集体影响。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Louisiana State University (LSU) and Louisiana Tech University (LA Tech) propose to establish the Center for Innovations in Structural Integrity Assurance (CISIA). Structural integrity and reliable life prediction of infrastructure and mechanical components have relevance in every public and private sector, ranging from oil & gas to aerospace to construction to energy processing industries. In addition to fundamental research for establishing linkages between material properties, infrastructure performance, and structural integrity ?which is beyond the scope of most industrial R&D organizations of today? the academic and industrial members of CISIA will work in concert to produce engineers who are trained in state-of-the-art facilities to utilize modern methods of structural health monitoring and analysis. These engineers will join a highly-qualified and productive workforce that significantly enhances the global competitiveness of U.S. industries. LSU site focuses on structural integrity and materials innovation, with emphasis on multiscale materials characterization/testing and multiscale physics-based modeling/simulation, to conduct research on component fatigue, wear, life-time assessment, and non-destructive accelerated testing. By integrating validated diagnostics, machine learning, and data-driven decision making, CISIA will be well-positioned to elucidate and translate the links between new materials, manufacturing processes, service histories, and their collective impact on reliability across all U.S. industrial sectors.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.
