I/UCRC: Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing

这是一项关于密歇根大学参与先进制造激光和等离子体中心的提案，该中心是I/UCRC于2002年创建的中心。该中心最初是作为一个单一的大学中心建立的，目前已经发展成为密歇根大学，安娜堡大学和南卫理公会大学参与的多所大学中心。该中心的主要研究重点是先进制造中的激光应用。所提出的工作的智力价值是发展对智能制造所需的激光材料加工的原子水平的理解。所获得的知识将导致新的和新颖的材料和制造方法。在过去的四年里，密歇根大学的基地在开发和实施基于激光的先进制造的应用驱动的基础研究方面取得了很大的进步。密歇根大学的网站有效地运作，因为它得到了行业成员的良好支持，项目具有挑战性，显然很重要。密歇根大学的设备是实质性的，讨论的项目，从激光焊接到直接金属沉积中残余应力的数学建模，都是雄心勃勃的和值得的。随着研究提供了这一重要工艺的改进发展，激光加工技术有望远远超出今天的应用。多所大学激光应用中心的共同努力为美国工业在先进制造业中更具竞争力提供了巨大的社会效益。密歇根大学将为学生提供教育和培训，以满足未来的劳动力需求。该大学将为研究生提供独特的体验，让他们能够与工业研究人员和工程师进行互动和合作。大学将继续通过reu让本科生参与进来。

Center for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing IIP- 0934342 University of Michigan This is a proposal to renew the University of Michigan's participation in the Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing center, an I/UCRC center that was created in 2002. The center was initially established as a single university center and currently has grown to a multi-university center with participation from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Southern Methodist University. The main focus of the center's research is in laser applications for advanced manufacturing. The intellectual merit of the proposed work is to develop atomic level understanding of the laser materials processing needed for intelligent manufacturing. The knowledge gained will lead to new and novel materials and manufacturing methodology. In the past four years, the University of Michigan site has made a big stride in developing and implementing application-driven basic research for laser-based advanced manufacturing. The University of Michigan site is working effectively as it is well supported by industrial members and the projects are challenging and clearly important. The equipment at the University of Michigan is substantial and the projects discussed, ranging from laser welding to mathematical modeling of residual stresses in direct metal deposition, are ambitious and worthwhile. Laser processing techniques are expected to increase well beyond the applications of today as research provides improved development of this important process. The integrated effort of multi-university center for laser applications provides a great benefit to the society in terms of helping US industries to be more competitive in advanced manufacturing. The University of Michigan site will provide education and training to prepare students to meet future workforce needs. The university will provide a unique experience to graduate students who can interact and collaborate with industrial researchers and engineers. The university will continue to involve undergraduate students through REUs.
