U.S.-Argentina Planning Visit on Damage Mitigation in Sugar Cane Mill Components

0549742 BroitmanD.卡内基-梅隆大学的埃斯特班·D·布罗特曼将得到支持，计划访问阿根廷马德普拉塔大学INTEMA摩擦学小组主任劳尔·孔德博士。他们将开展实验并协调活动，为题为“减轻甘蔗厂部件的损坏”的美洲材料合作(CIAM)做准备。他们的工作旨在找到延长甘蔗加工过程中使用的机械钢部件的预期寿命的方法。失效分析和摩擦学知识的增加也将影响到这个具体项目以外的其他材料研究领域。来自巴西和哥伦比亚的研究人员也将把他们的专业知识和经验带到这个项目中。哥伦比亚的GIMI(Grupo De Investigacion En Mejoramiento Industrial)是这一特定项目的起点，该项目将使所有有关国家受益。

0549742BroitmanDr. Esteban D. Broitman, Carnegie-Mellon University, will be supported for a planning visit to meet with his counterpart, Dr. Raul Conde, Director of the Tribology Group, INTEMA, University of Mar del Plata, in Argentina. They will carry out experiments and coordinate activities in preparation for an Inter-American Materials Collaboration (CIAM) entitled: "Damage Mitigation in Sugar Cane Mill Components". Their work is intended to lead to ways to extend the life expectancy of mechanical steel components used in the sugar cane milling process. Increased knowledge of failure analysis and tribology will also impact other areas of materials research beyond this specific project.Researchers from Brazil and Colombia will also bring their expertise and experience to this project. The GIMI (Grupo de Investigacion en Mejoramiento Industrial) in Colombia was the starting point for this particular project which will be beneficial to all countries involved.
