A Renewal Proposal for an Industrial/University Cooperative Research Program in Nondestructive Evaluation

摘要汤普森EEC-9872590无损评估工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)正在续签，这是为期五年的持续资助的第一年。根据竞赛公告和NSF第97-164号公告，该中心通过开发一套允许无损评估与结构部件的制造和生命周期相结合的工具，解决了对显著新的智力物质的需求，这些物质的推力集中在结构系统的可靠性上。将加入该中心的新研究将涉及1。)结构体系的可靠性，2。)应用于非结构材料和3.)NDE技术发展。该奖项是竞赛的结果，并根据NSF公告97-164开始了中心的新生命周期。

ABSTRACT THOMPSON EEC-9872590 The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Nondestructive Evaluation is being renewed for the first year of a five year continuing grant. In accordance with the announcement of the competition and NSF Announcement 97-164, the Center addressed the requirement for significantly new intellectual substance with thrusts that focus on the reliability of structural systems by developing a set of tools that allow nondestructive evaluation to be integrated with the manufacturing and life cycle of structural components. The new research to be added to the Center will address 1.) reliability of structural systems, 2.) application to nondestructural materials and 3.) NDE technique development. This award is the result of a competition and starts a new life-cycle for the Center in accordance with NSF Announcement 97-164.
