Workshop: Fluid Power Advanced Manufacturing; Minneapolis, Minnesota; May 24-25, 2016

该奖项支持一个关于流体动力先进制造的研讨会。流体动力是一种独特的动力传递和运动控制方法。流体动力的两个主要领域是液压和气动。流体动力广泛应用于工业和移动领域。例如，包括工程机械和农业机械在内的许多越野车辆使用液压动力来推动车辆并执行工作功能。每年通过流体动力传输的能量占2到2.9夸德(或一千万亿英热单位)。先进制造，如添加剂制造，为提高流体动力部件和系统的性能和效率提供了新的机会。研讨会将帮助将制造创新与基于模型的设计和分析联系起来，以实现新的流体动力系统和应用。研讨会的目标是确定竞争前的研究需求和方法，将制造创新与流体动力部件和系统的基于模型的设计和分析相结合。研讨会将在明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯举行。制造业、流体动力部件和系统、系统建模、分析和控制领域的研究人员将应邀参加研讨会。组委会将与行业咨询团队合作，选出全体演讲人。研讨会将持续两天，包括全体会议和分组会议。组委会将编写一份关于讲习班成果的综合报告，其中包括与会者名单、专题介绍、全体会议的说明和分组会议的讨论。该报告将概述将先进制造与流体动力基于模型的设计和分析相结合的主要挑战和方法。

This award supports a workshop on fluid power advanced manufacturing. Fluid power is a unique method for power transfer and motion control. The two major domains of fluid power are hydraulics and pneumatics. Fluid power is widely used in industrial and mobile applications. For example, many off-road vehicles including construction machines and agriculture equipment use fluid power to propel the vehicle and conduct working functions. The amount of energy transmitted through fluid power accounts for 2 to 2.9 Quads (or quadrillion BTUs) per year. Advanced manufacturing, such as additive manufacturing, offers new opportunities for improving performance and efficiency of fluid power components and systems. The workshop will help to connect the manufacturing innovations with model-based design and analysis to enable new fluid power systems and applications.The objective of the workshop is to identify the pre-competitive research needs and approaches of integrating manufacturing innovations with model-based design and analysis for fluid power components and systems. The workshop will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Researchers in manufacturing, fluid power components and systems, system modeling, analysis and control will be invited to attend the workshop. The organizing committee will work with the industry advisory team to select plenary speakers. The workshop will last two days and consists of both plenary sessions and breakout sessions. The organizing committee will compile a comprehensive report on the workshop outcomes that include a list of participants, presentations, notes from the plenary session and breakout session discussions. The report will outline the main challenges and approaches in integrating advanced manufacturing with model based design and analysis for fluid power.
