Proposal #: CNS 11-39364PI(s): Nelson, Tracy W.Institution: Brigham Young UniversityTitle: RAPID/IUCRC: An International University Collaborative Research Program between NSF/IUCRC CFSP Center and Tohoku University Project Proposed:This RAPID project, enabling graduate students from the Kokawa Laboratory from Tohoku University in Japan to go to Brigham Young University (BYU) to use the facilities and equipment available within the CFSP (Center for Friction Stir Processing, an NSF ENG I/UCRC) to continue performing essential research for short periods of time (2-6 weeks), responds to the disaster in the labs caused by the March 11 earthquake in Japan. Sensitive Optical and electron microscopy equipment were rendered unusable and are currently not on the priority list for immediate repair. Thus, the project aims to satisfy the following objectives:- Enable students to continue their research;- Engage graduate, undergraduate, and underrepresented students and faculty from five different countries in an international collaborative effort; - Expose students to a wider breadth of research and development in FSW&P;- Expand international networking opportunities; and- Enlarge the international database of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) processes and practices.The research work at both universities has a long history of producing outstanding intellectual results, as evidenced by more than 60 publications in Tohoku and more than 30 at BYU in this area in recent years. While at BYU, the students will be performing joint research in:- FSW of steels, stainless steels, and titanium alloys,- Tooling for FRW&P, and- Grain boundary engineering.The USA researchers collaborate with the Japanese investigators from Tohuku University, Dr. Hiroyuki Kokawa and Dr. Yutaka Sato. The former has co-authored a relevant book in the area, while the latter has spent a sabbatical year at BYU. Thus, a useful collaboration already exists. A letter of support and biographical sketch of the Japanese collaborator is included in the supplementary document. Broader Impacts: Students representing five different countries, along with faculty from Japan and USA will be engaged in this international collaborative research effort. Both undergraduate and graduate students will be invited to present their work to more than 20 industrial sponsors from around the world during annual and semi-annual CFSP meetings. The research will be broadly disseminated in the technical community in the form of journal papers and technical presentations.Obviously, contributing equipment to help in the completion of on-going research should enhance the USA students while enabling the exchange of ideas. In general, the project also contributes to train graduate and undergraduate students exposing them to high-impact application areas.

Proposal #: CNS 11-39364PI(s): Nelson, Tracy W.Institution: Brigham Young UniversityTitle: RAPID/IUCRC: An International University Collaborative Research Program between NSF/IUCRC CFSP Center and Tohoku University Project Proposed:This RAPID project, enabling graduate students from the Kokawa Laboratory from Tohoku University in Japan to go to Brigham Young University (BYU) to使用CFSP中可用的设施和设备（摩擦搅拌处理中心，NSF ENG I/UCRC）继续在短时间内（2-6周）继续进行基本的研究，对日本3月11日地震造成的实验室中的灾难做出了反应。敏感的光学和电子显微镜设备变得无法使用，目前尚未在优先级列表中进行立即修复。因此，该项目旨在满足以下目标： - 使学生能够继续研究； - 与来自五个不同国家 /地区的毕业生，本科生和代表性不足的学生和不足的学生一起在国际合作的努力中； - 使学生在FSW＆P; - 扩大国际网络机会中的更广度； - 扩大了国际摩擦搅拌焊接（FSW）过程和实践的国际数据库。这两种大学的研究工作具有悠久的历史，可以产生出色的知识成果，这证明了Toohoku的60多个出版物在近年来在该领域的BYU 30多个出版物。在BYU期间，学生将在以下方面进行联合研究：-FSW的钢，不锈钢和钛合金 - FRW＆P的工具以及 - 谷物边界工程。前者合着了该地区的一本相关书籍，而后者在BYU度过了休假一年。因此，已经存在有用的合作。补充文件中包括了日本合作者的支持和传记素描。 更广泛的影响：代表五个不同国家的学生以及来自日本和美国的教职员工将参与这项国际合作研究工作。本科生和研究生都将被邀请在年度和半年度CFSP会议上向来自世界各地的20多位工业赞助商介绍他们的作品。这项研究将以期刊论文和技术演示的形式在技术界广泛传播。明显地，为完成正在进行的研究完成的设备贡献了设备，应增强美国的学生，同时实现思想交流。通常，该项目还有助于培训毕业生和本科生将其暴露于高影响力的应用领域。
