Bristol Adaptive Structures Workshop 2006

我们提议举办一次为期三天的适应性结构问题研讨会，暂定日期为2006年7月10日至12日。我们的目的是将这一领域的领先国际研究人员与在同一领域工作的下一代英国研究人员聚集在一起。其想法是，所有主要演讲者都将是适应结构核心领域的领先国际专家。预计演讲者将不仅仅是对当前研究的概述，还将提出他们对未来的展望-概述这一令人兴奋的工程科学领域的未来挑战和方向。会议将集中讨论三个主题，这三个主题都是自适应结构的核心：智能材料；自适应系统的传感和控制；机械和航空航天工程的应用。观众--包括在这一领域工作的年轻学者、工业家和年轻研究人员--将展示他们的工作海报，目的是促进参与者之间的重大互动。我们预计，研讨会将产生大量新的研究想法和合作。我们估计EPSRC大约需要25K。

We are proposing to hold a three day workshop on adaptive structures with a provisional date of 10-12 July 2006. Our intention is to bring together leading international researchers in this field with the next generation of UK researchers working in the same area. The idea is that all the main speakers will be leading international experts in an area central to adaptive structures. The speakers will be expected to go beyond just an overview of current research to give their vision of the future --- to outline the future challenges and directions in this exciting area of engineering science. The meeting will concentrate on three main themes, all central to adaptive structures: Intelligent materials; sensing and control of adaptive systems; applications to mechanical and aerospace engineering. The audience - a mixture of young academics, industrialists and young researchers working in this area - will be expected to present a poster of their work, with the intention of promoting significant interaction between participants. We anticipate that a significant number of new research ideas and collaborations will result from the workshop. We estimate approximately 25k would be required from the EPSRC.
