An Internet-Based Meta-Model Driven Distributed Workbench For Mbs @ University of Colorado At Boulder
This project articulates a long-term vision centered around the concept of
an Internet-based Meta-Model Driven Distributed Workbench (M2D2W), and aimed at revolutionizing the ways in which MBS can assist engineers in the design and analysis of complex systems. It focuses essentially on an 18-month exploratory research effort whose two main objectives are to address a number of identified obstacles and challenges, and demonstrate the credibility of MBS for the engineering of civil and mechanical systems. For this purpose, the concept of a multidisciplinary M2D2W will be researched, a prototype built, and its potential demonstrated by applying it to the aeroelastic stabilization of the Bronx-Whitestone bridge. The stabilization study is to include the planned design of a new orthotropic deck, which when installed will lighten the bridge considerably, and the investigation of several mitigation procedures in anticipation of even poorer aeroelastic response characteristics.
The main technical purpose of the M2D2W is to provide an open, multidisciplinary, scalable, interactive, and Internet-based simulation environment. The outcome of this research effort is expected to promote and enable a paradigm shift from closed single discipline analysis codes, to open, multidisciplinary, Internet-based,what-if simulation environments. This in turn will contribute to transforming MBS into a practical methodology for the engineering of civil and mechanical systems.

Applications of Aerosondes to Long-Term Measurements of the Atmosphere and Sea Ice Surface in the Beaufort/Chukchi Sector of the Arctic Ocean @ University of Colorado At Boulder
The project will develop an Arctic-capable aerosonde, design an instrument package for it, field test the instruments, and collect data in the Barrow, AK vicinity. The aerosonde is an autonomous aircraft that that builds on a design of a smaller platform that has flown in the Arctic. The improved aerosonde will be more robust and have increased navigational as well scientific instrumentation than its predecessor. The improved aerosonde will be able to fly over land and sea ice in order to make measurements of surface and near-surface properties that play a role in redistribution of heat in climate feedback systems. The remotely operated aerosonde also allows measurements to be made without the need of humans entering a very dangerous environment, particularly during the most hazardous time of the year. The aeorsonde will add an important access capability to Arctic research for a wide variety of atmospheric and surface properties studies.

Itr: a Data Driven Environment For Multiphysics Applications @ University of Colorado At Boulder
EIA-0205663 University of Colorado Charbel Farhat ITR: A Data Driven Environment for
Multiphysics Applications
The objective of this project is to enable an efficient prediction capability for the response of multiscale interdisciplinary continuous interacting systems. This will be done by an effective union of information technologies, coupled multiphysics sciences, and automated massive experimentation for data gathering to steer adaptive modeling of the observed systemic behavior.
