30th Anniversary


30th Anniversary of Joining and Welding Research Institute, Osaka University

International Symposium on

Joining & Welding Solution to Industrial Innovation

[Japanese] [Symposium Program] [Contents of Poster Session]

Organizer Joining and Welding Research Institute, Osaka University
Date March 14 (Friday), 2003
Location Senri Life Science Center (Toyonaka City, Osaka) 
Scope

   Joining and welding are key technologies for manufacturing in wide range of industries and it is our responsibility to support the industries through fundamental researches. However, welding is a phenomenon of multi physics involving generation of highly concentrated heat source, its interaction with materials, metallurgical evolution and formation of welding residual stress and distortion. In addition to this, other factors, such as the economy and the skill of workers must be taken into consideration.
   Because of its complexity, it requires experience and intuition for industrial application. Even now, many phenomena are left unexplained scientifically. Due to the lack of true understanding, welding is suspected as a cause of accidents or problems happened to structures in production or in service.
   Under such circumstances, our institute was reorganized at the occasion of its 25th anniversary to deepen the scientific understanding and to promote its utilization in industry. Since then, interdisciplinary comprehensive research project have been conducted within our institute. Though it is underway, we must put our full effort to establish a framework for theoretical prediction and to accumulate reliable experimental data supporting it. At the same time, it is necessary to demonstrate the potential value of our research achievement to industry and to promote fruitful collaboration with researches and engineers in industry. It is also important to watch the worldwide trend of research and development activities for further innovation of industrial technology.
   From the above motivation, we will invite leading researches from abroad together with researches and engineers from various sector of industry to commemorate 30th anniversary of JWRI, Osaka University. We sincerely hope that this symposium can serve as a good opportunity to discuss the future of joining and welding science with participants from industry.
