0536661NayfehDescription: This award is to support a "US-Tunisia Workshop on research and educational advances in the design and fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)" to be held in Hammamet, Tunisia in December 2006 Tunisia in concurrence with the International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering (ICAME2006). The US organizer is Professor Ali H. Nayfeh, Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). The Tunisian organizers are Drs. Slim Choura and Sami El-Borgi of the Tunisia Polytechnic School. The workshop will be hosted by the Applied Mechanics and Systems Research Laboratory at the Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) and the Tunisian National Institute of Scientific and Technical Research, and will be held in conjunction with the Third International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics. These combined efforts will ensure a broad participation of senior and junior scientists from the US, Tunisia, and other countries. Technical Merits: The workshop objectives are to (a) discuss research and educational issues and trends related to MEMS technology, (b) offer opportunities for the initiation of research projects and strengthening existing ones between the American and Tunisian participants, and (c) address issues related to the needs of the local industry to MEMS technology. The focus will be on up-to-date research and development of MEMS technology and its applications to microsensors, microactuators, opto-mechanical and fluidic microsystems, biomedical microdevices, and nano-electro-mechanical devices. One day will be set aside to discuss research trends and future needs to MEMS technology, and explore possible joint collaboration projects between Tunisian and American universities. The workshop will provide an opportunity to make use of the collective experiences of many experts in the field of MEMS with emphasis on design tools, fabrication technologies, materials, and electro-mechanical integration techniques.Broader Impact: The workshop is expected to enhance the scientific collaboration between the scientists of the two countries and the creation and design of graduate course(s) on MEMS mechanics and materials for the American and Tunisian universities. It will allow scientists from the U.S. and Tunisia to exchange their research and teaching experiences, ideas, and information and to initiate new and strengthen existing collaborations to promote MEMS technology for the benefit of the public and private sectors. Participants will include two junior U.S. researchers as well as junior scientists and PhD students from Tunisia, thus increasing the potential for future collaboration. Since MEMS technology is becoming central to mechanics and materials engineering education, the PIs will transition main developments of this research to the classroom. Basic concepts of MEMS design and fabrication, to be suggested by the participants during the workshop, will be proposed for a new graduate course(s) at Virginia Tech. as well as in the Computational Mechanics Master's Program offered at TPS. A published proceeding will be made available to the workshop participants. Also announcements for this workshop will be available on the World Wide Web at Virginia Tech.

0536661Nayfeh 描述：该奖项旨在支持将于 2006 年 12 月在突尼斯哈马马特举办的“美国-突尼斯微机电系统 (MEMS) 设计和制造方面的研究和教育进展研讨会”，突尼斯与国际研讨会同时举行。机械工程进展会议（ICAME2006）。 美方主办方为弗吉尼亚理工学院暨州立大学（Virginia Tech）工程科学与力学系Ali H. Nayfeh教授。突尼斯的组织者是Drs。突尼斯理工学院的 Slim Choura 和 Sami El-Borgi。 该研讨会将由突尼斯理工学院（TPS）应用力学和系统研究实验室和突尼斯国家科学技术研究所主办，并将与第三届机械工程和力学进展国际会议同期举行。 这些共同努力将确保来自美国、突尼斯和其他国家的高级和初级科学家的广泛参与。技术优点：研讨会的目标是 (a) 讨论与 MEMS 技术相关的研究和教育问题及趋势，(b) 为美国和突尼斯参与者之间启动研究项目和加强现有项目提供机会，以及 (c) 解决与当地工业对 MEMS 技术的需求相关的问题。重点关注MEMS技术的最新研究和开发及其在微传感器、微执行器、光机械和流体微系统、生物医学微器件和纳米机电器件中的应用。 将安排一天时间讨论 MEMS 技术的研究趋势和未来需求，并探讨突尼斯和美国大学之间可能的联合合作项目。该研讨会将提供一个机会，利用 MEMS 领域许多专家的集体经验，重点是设计工具、制造技术、材料和机电集成技术。 更广泛的影响：该研讨会预计将提高科学性两国科学家之间的合作，以及为美国和突尼斯大学创建和设计 MEMS 力学和材料研究生课程。它将允许来自美国和突尼斯的科学家交流他们的研究和教学经验、想法和信息，并启动新的和加强现有的合作，以推广 MEMS 技术，造福公共和私营部门。参与者将包括两名美国初级研究人员以及来自突尼斯的初级科学家和博士生，从而增加了未来合作的潜力。 由于 MEMS 技术正在成为机械和材料工程教育的核心，PI 将把这项研究的主要进展转移到课堂上。 与会者在研讨会期间提出的 MEMS 设计和制造的基本概念将在弗吉尼亚理工大学的新研究生课程中提出。以及 TPS 提供的计算力学硕士课程。 将向研讨会参与者提供已出版的会议记录。本次研讨会的公告也将在弗吉尼亚理工大学的万维网上发布。
