Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Engineering Tribology

9413109 Danyluk这个产业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)是作为一个多地点研究中心得到资助的。西北大学将佐治亚理工学院作为I/UCRC工程摩擦学研究的研究地点。四家公司将加入该中心，佐治亚理工学院将成为该中心的另一个研究地点。联合行动将在现有研究活动的基础上增加机械密封建模、各种液体的流体动力成膜能力调查和硅片切割优化等研究活动，并吸引更多公司与该中心合作。参与该中心的研究人员完全有资格执行研究项目。项目经理建议佐治亚理工学院在五年持续奖励的第一年获得50,000美元的奖励。每12个月接近结束时，项目经理和/或工程教育和中心部门的部门主任将审查中心在一系列更新标准方面的进展，包括以下内容：1)行业/大学互动的发展程度；2)支持基础的发展程度；以及3)强大的研究计划发展的程度。如果审查结果令人满意，项目经理将建议对下一阶段的持续奖励提供支持。

9413109 Danyluk This Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) is being funded as a multi-site research Center. Northwestern University is adding the Georgia Institute of Technology as a research site in the I/UCRC for Engineering Tribology research. Four companies are joining the Center with the Georgia Institute of Technology becoming an additional research site in the Center. The joint operation will add research activities on modelling of mechanical seals, investigation of hydrodynamic film forming capability of various liquids, and the optimization of the dicing of silicon wafers to the existing research activities and attract more companies to joint the Center. The researchers involved with the Centers are well qualified to perform the research projects. The Program manager recommends the Georgia Insitute of Technology be awarded $50,000 for the first year of a five year continuing award. Near the end of each 12-month period, the Program Manager and/or the Division Director of the Engineering Education and Center's Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: 1) the extent to which the industry/university interaction is developing; 2) the extent to which the support base is developing; and 3) the extent to which a robust research program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support for the next period of this continuing award.
