U.S.-Armenia: Planning Visit - Investigations of Thin Elastic Structures under Electromagnetic and Aerodynamic Loading Conditions

这是对亚美尼亚的一次计划访问，在电磁-机械和空气动力场相互作用很重要的薄结构系统的建模和研究方面开展合作研究。美国首席调查员是克拉克森大学的皮尔·马佐卡。外国合作者是埃里温力学研究所的Karen Ghazaryan和Mels Belubekyan。这种不断发展的研究伙伴关系的结果可能会更好地理解弹性结构如何响应恶劣的环境条件(如高速流动、电磁力和温度场)，并可能导致结构系统、经典和生物力学工程设计、智能材料和结构设计的新范式。该工程项目实现了将美国和欧洲的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域结合互补努力和能力的计划目标。这个国际项目还将有助于培养新一代工程师，因为它包括美国研究生的参与。

This is a planning visit to Armenia develop collaborative research on the modeling and study of thin structural systems where electro-magneto-mechanical and aerodynamic field interactions are important. The U.S. Principal Investigator is Pier Marzocca from Clarkson University. The foreign collaborators are Karen Ghazaryan and Mels Belubekyan from the Institute of Mechanics in Yerevan.The results of this evolving research partnership could potentially provide a better understanding of how elastic structures respond to severe environmental conditions (such as high speeds flow, electromagnetic forces and temperature fields) and could lead to a new paradigm for the design of structural systems, classical and biomechanical engineering devises, smart materials and structures. This project in engineering fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit. This international project will also contribute to the training of a new generation of engineers as it includes the participation of U.S. graduate students.
