Rapidly advancing technologies in the fields of mechanical systems dynamics, structural mechanics, design sensitivity analysis, optimization, computer architectures, computer science, numerical analysis and computer graphics need to be integrated into an overall mechanical system simulation and design optimization program that can be used by industry. As a result of NSF Planning Grant CDR 87-00749, the University of Iowa has shown that an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Simulation and Design Optimization of Mechanical Systems is both feasible and viable. This five-year continuing grant is funding along with industry the initiation of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Simulation and Design Optimization of Mechanical Systems at the University of Iowa. This Center's research program is addressing: Dynamic System Simulation, Design Optimization, Advanced Software System Integration and Graphics Communication and Control of the Design Process. Over two dozens companies have become members of the Center providing support of approximately $1M. The Co-Principal Investigators and his colleagues are nationally recognized experts in their fields and have the knowledge, resources and support necessary to operate this Center. Drs. dePennington (DMC) and Marsh (MSM) are providing partial support. The Program Manager recommends the University of Iowa be awarded $75,000 for the first year of a five year continuing grant. The five-year continuing grant is to be cost shared this first year with $50,000 (CDR), $20,000 (DMC) and $5,000 (MSM). The U.S. Army, TACOM, is providing $50,000 to co-fund this Center with NSF. An additional $147,000 supplemental funding to augment the Center's research program is being provided by for other Government laboratories. Another $5,000 is for "Supplemental Funding of Women, Minority, and Handicapped Engineering Research Assistant." Follow on funding during the last four years will be in accordance with the following renewal criteria. Near the end of each 12-month period, the Program Manager and/or the Head of The Division of Cross-Disciplinary Research will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: (1) extent to which university/industry interaction and collaboration is developing; (2) extent to which the support base for the center is expanding; (3) extent to which a robust research program is developing. If review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support of the next period of this continuing grant.

机械系统动力学、结构力学、设计灵敏度分析、优化、计算机体系结构、计算机科学、数值分析和计算机图形学等领域快速发展的技术需要集成到一个整体机械系统仿真和设计优化程序中，供用户使用行业。 作为 NSF 规划拨款 CDR 87-00749 的结果，爱荷华大学表明，机械系统仿真和设计优化的工业/大学合作研究中心既可行又可行。 这项为期五年的持续拨款将与业界一起资助爱荷华大学机械系统仿真和设计优化行业/大学合作研究中心的启动。 该中心的研究项目涉及：动态系统仿真、设计优化、高级软件系统集成以及设计过程的图形通信和控制。 已有超过 20 家公司成为该中心的成员，提供约 100 万美元的支持。 联合首席研究员及其同事是各自领域的全国公认专家，拥有运营该中心所需的知识、资源和支持。 博士。 dePennington (DMC) 和 Marsh (MSM) 提供部分支持。 项目经理建议爱荷华大学在五年连续资助的第一年获得 75,000 美元。 为期五年的持续赠款将在第一年由 50,000 美元（CDR）、20,000 美元（DMC）和 5,000 美元（MSM）分摊。 美国陆军 TACOM 将提供 50,000 美元与 NSF 共同资助该中心。 正在为其他政府实验室提供额外 147,000 美元的补充资金，以加强该中心的研究计划。 另外 5,000 美元用于“女性、少数民族和残疾人工程研究助理的补充资金”。 过去四年的后续资助将符合以下更新标准。 每 12 个月结束时，项目经理和/或跨学科研究部负责人将审查中心在多项更新标准方面的进展情况，包括以下内容： (1) 更新的程度大学/工业界的互动与合作正在发展； （二）中心支撑基础扩大的程度； (3) 强有力的研究计划的发展程度。 如果审查令人满意，项目经理将建议支持下一期的持续拨款。
