0631406 Sharma该计划访问奖允许德克萨斯州休斯顿市休斯顿大学机械工程系的Pradeep Sharma博士与突尼斯La Marsa理工学院的Sami El-Borgia博士和Slim Choura博士合作，计划开发用于纳米传感器应用的动态问题的计算工具的联合研究项目。 智力优势：美国和突尼斯的合作者在计算力学领域有很强的背景。 他们将寻求在材料力学的一个重要领域发展美国-突尼斯合作，并帮助他们合作下的学生交流。 广泛的影响：美国PI是一个最近的博士学位保持器持有人谁将受益于国际发展将作出相当大的。 他被期望将这一经验传授给他的学生和他所在大学周围社区的其他人。

0631406 SharmaThis planning-visit award allows Dr. Pradeep Sharma, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Houston, Houston, Texas to work with Dr. Sami El-Borgia and Dr. Slim Choura, Ecole Polytechnique de Tunisie, La Marsa, Tunisia, to plan a joint research project on development of computational tools for dynamic problems with applications in nano-sensors. Intellectual Merit: The US and Tunisian collaborators have strong background in the area of computational mechanics. They will seek to develop US-Tunisia collaboration in an important area in mechanics of materials, and to help exchange of students under their collaboration. Broad Impact: The US PI is a recent doctorate degree holder who will benefit considerably from the international development to be made. He is expected to impart this experience to his students and to others in the community around his university.
