IUCRC Renewal Proposal: NSF I/UCRC for Friction Stir Processing

该提案要求为密苏里州科技大学（密苏里州ST）摩擦搅拌加工（CFSP）中心提供为期五年的NSF资助（第二阶段）。密苏里州ST在2005年被添加为大学网站。CFSP目前由南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSM T）作为牵头机构，杨百翰大学（BYU）、南卡罗来纳州大学（USC）、威奇托州立大学（WSU）和密苏里州S T作为研究合作伙伴组成。这些机构聚集在一起，成立了摩擦搅拌加工（FSP）I/UCRC，专注于航空航天，能源，军事和商业行业在开发新兴固态金属连接和加工技术方面的需求。CFSP已经执行了基础和应用研究计划，以满足其工业和政府赞助商的实施需求。密苏里州ST专注于基本的加工微观结构与性能的关系。此外，该工厂是开发非连接应用摩擦搅拌加工技术的主要场所。除了学术出版物所指出的成功之外，密苏里州的ST站点也取得了显著的商业成功。通过大学，地方，区域，国家和国际参与中心活动，对社区产生更广泛的影响。更新的密苏里州ST CFSP现场PI在TMS会议期间担任FSW/P研讨会的组织者，编辑了ASM出版的第一本关于FSW/P的书，作为客座编辑在Scripta Materialia组织了关于摩擦搅拌过程基本原理的观点集，并共同撰写了第一篇关于FSW/P的评论论文。TMS会议期间的FSW/P研讨会每两年组织一次，CFSP学生参加人数众多。所有这些活动都有助于CFSP在产生和传播有关搅拌摩擦过程的基础知识和应用知识方面实现更广泛的目标。更新的密苏里州ST CFSP网站有两个博士后的研究项目。在2010年5月的IAB会议上，每个研究中心将制定和实施自己的博士后指导计划。密苏里州科技网站的指导计划包括步骤，以发展博士后的技能过渡到学术界或研究机构。

This proposal requests a five year renewal (phase II) of NSF funding for the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) Center for Friction Stir Processing (CFSP) site. Missouri S&T was added as a university site in 2005. CFSP is currently comprised of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) as the lead institution, with Brigham Young University (BYU), the University of South Carolina (USC), Wichita State University (WSU), and Missouri S&T as research partners. These institutions were brought together to establish the Friction Stir Processing (FSP) I/UCRC to focus on the needs of the aerospace, aeronautic, energy, military and commercial industries in developing emerging solid-state metals joining and processing technology. The CFSP has performed basic and applied research programs that address the implementation needs of its industrial and government sponsors. Missouri S&T focuses on the fundamental processing microstructure-properties relationships. Also, this site is the primary site for development of friction stir processing technology for non-joining applications. In addition to the success indicated by academic publications, notable commercial successes have resulted from the Missouri S&T site. The broader impacts on the community are strongly built into the proposal through university, local, regional, national and international participation in the center activities. The renewing Missouri S&T CFSP site PI has worked as an organizer of FSW/P symposium during TMS meetings, edited the first book on FSW/P published by ASM, organized a Viewpoint Set in Scripta Materialia on the fundamentals of friction stir process as a Guest Editor and co-authored the first review paper on FSW/P. FSW/P symposium during TMS meeting is organized every two years and CFSP students participate in large numbers. All these activities help the broader goal of CFSP in generation and dissemination of fundamental and applied knowledge regarding the friction stir process. The renewing Missouri S&T CFSP Site has two post-docs in the research projects. During May 2010 IAB meeting, it was formalized that each site will develop and implement its own post-doc mentoring program. Missouri S&T site's mentoring program includes steps to develop post-doc's skills to transition into academia or research institutions.
