US/Japan Workshop on Smart Structures Technology: Application to Large Civil Structures

该项目是在马里兰大学帕克分校的校园内组织一个关于智能结构技术应用于大型土木结构的美日联合研讨会。研讨会将由来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的日本和美国专家参加。研讨会的目标是：(1)评估智能结构技术的最新发展及其在美国和日本大型土木结构中的最新应用；(2)确定研究需求、差距和未来的研究重点；(3)汇集美国和日本的研究人员和实践者，通过大学、政府和行业专业人士的积极参与，探索和促进合作研究活动。本项目由美国国家科学基金会和日本建设省建筑研究所共同资助，隶属于美日自然资源（UJNR）计划。

The project is to organize a joint US/Japan workshop on smart structures technology applied to large civil structures on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. The workshop will be attended by Japanese and US experts from academia, industry and government laboratories. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) assess recent developments in smart structure technology and their recent applications to large civil structures in the US and Japan, (2) to identify research needs, gaps and future research thrusts and, (3) bring together researchers and practitioners from the US and Japan to explore and promote cooperative research activities through active participation of university, government and industry professionals. This project is jointly supported by NSF and Building Research Institute, Ministry of Construction, Japan, under the auspices of the US-Japan Natural Resources (UJNR) Program.
