[Announce] NSF NHERI User Workshop: University of Florida EF and UC-Berkeley SimCenter, June 29-30

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

We are pleased to announce the 2017 NHERI User Workshop hosted jointly by the University of Florida Experimental Facility (EF) and the UC-Berkeley SimCenter, June 29-30, at the University of Florida.
The workshop will introduce potential NHERI users to the facilities offered by these two NHERI entities. The theme of this workshop is to promote the coordinated use of the computational modeling and simulation software tools offered by the SimCenter with the experimental facilities at the UF NHERI EF. A primary topic will be the development of cyberphysical approaches in wind engineering research, with emphasis on introducing the real-time hybrid simulation methods that originated from earthquake engineering.
We are targeting a diverse participant group that includes but is not limited to researchers with expertise in structural, wind, seismic or hazard engineering, fluid dynamics, optimization, cyberphysical testing, computation modeling. An experimental background is not required.
The limited participant slots and support funds are reserved for faculty eligible to submit grants to NSF as of September 2017. Priority will be given to those applicants indicating a strong desire to submit an NSF proposal to utilize the UF NHERI EF and/or UC-Berkeley SimCenter. Spring 2017 proposal submitters will be given top priority.  Significant personalized attention will be given to the participants, and the workshop technical contents customized for the participant group.
