US-Jordan Workshop on Middle Eastern Research And Educational Advances In Structural Health Monitoring And Control

项目编号：oise0913197首席研究员：Ali nayfeh机构：弗吉尼亚理工学院标题：美国-约旦结构健康监测与控制中东研究和教育进展研讨会PI计划于2010年春季在约旦大学举办结构健康监测与控制（SHMC）研讨会。研讨会的目标有三个：(1)在约旦安曼举办为期三天的研讨会，讨论与SHMC相关的研究和教育问题以及趋势；(2)为美国和中东参与者之间开展合作研究项目提供机会；(3)解决与SHMC当地工业需求相关的问题。研讨会将集中讨论SHMC的理论、数值和实验发展及其在多种类型结构中的应用。研讨会将提供一个论坛，以传播SHMC中新的科学、技术和实验概念。此次研讨会有望对SHMC教育的发展产生更广泛的影响，并帮助年轻教师发起SHMC项目。本次研讨会将汇集SHMC领域的许多专家，讨论与新的理论、数值和实验方法相关的当前问题和趋势。这种互动将在美国教师和来自中东国家的合作伙伴之间产生协同效应。通过建立具有国际规模的SHMC领域的合作研究工作，双方可以相互受益。预计这次研讨会将使SHMC教育问题得到更大的国际曝光。所要求的资金将为美国与会者提供旅行支持，他们将会见来自中东国家的与会者，包括摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、埃及、巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩。对美国的好处包括：(1)使地区参与者熟悉美国的实践、软件、执行器、仪器网络和美国生产的传感器，以及(2)提高美国参与者在将SHMC技术应用于历史遗迹和考古遗址领域的知识和专业知识。

Proposal Number: OISE-0913197Principal Investigator: Ali NayfehInstitution: Virginia Polytechnic InstituteTitle: US-Jordan Workshop on Middle Eastern Research and Educational Advances in Structural Health Monitoring and ControlThe PI plans to hold a workshop on structural health monitoring and control (SHMC) at Jordan University in the spring of 2010. The objectives of the workshop are threefold: (1) to host a three-day workshop in Amman, Jordan to discuss research and educational issues and trends related to SHMC, (2) to offer opportunities for the initiation of collaborative research projects between the American and Middle Eastern participants, and (3) to address issues related to the needs of local industry in SHMC. The workshop will be focused on theoretical, numerical, and experimental developments in SHMC and their application to many types of structures. The workshop will provide a forum to disseminate new scientific, technical, and experimental concepts in SHMC. The workshop is expected to have a broader impact on the advancement of SHMC education and to help young faculty initiate SHMC programs. This workshop will bring together many experts in the field of SHMC to discuss current issues and trends related to new theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. This interaction will create synergy between American faculty and partners from Middle Eastern countries. They can mutually benefit by establishing collaborative research work in the field of SHMC with an international dimension. It is anticipated that this workshop will give the SHMC education issues greater international exposure. The funds requested will provide travel support for US participants who will meet with participants from Middle Eastern countries including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, and Lebanon. Among the benefits to the US are (1) familiarizing the regional participants with US practices, software, actuators, instrumentation networks, and sensors produced in the US, and (2) advancing the knowledge and expertise of US participants in the area of applying SHMC techniques to historical monuments and archeological sites.
