Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Test System for Composite Materials Systems Subjected to Time Dependent Biaxial Loading

硫研究设备奖将协助采购 机械加载系统的应用时间依赖 双轴加载 所涉及的设备主要包括两个 在x和y方向上施加力的独立负载致动器 每个轴上都有独立的伺服控制器。 致动器是 由六边形承载框架约束。 该设备将 用于研究复合材料在双轴载荷下的行为 压力的状态。 研究计划包括聚合物基质的研究 复合材料（钛中的碳化硅和铝中的石墨）。 这些材料的研究将集中在非线性变形，静态 失效准则、分层、损伤的产生和扩展，以及 抗压稳定性

Thios research equipment award will assist in the procurement of mechanical loading systems for the application of time-dependent biaxial loading. The equipment involved consists essentially of two independent load actuators to apply forces in the x and y direction with independent servo controllers on each axis. The actuators are restrained by a hexagonal loading frame. This equipment will be utilized to study the behavior of composite materials under biaxial states of stress. Research plans include studies of polymers-matrix composites (silicon ccarbide in titanium and graphite in aluminum). Studies of these materials will focus on non-linear deformation, static failure criteria, delamination, damage initiation and growth, and compressive stability.
