Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Low Temperture Materials and Structural Models Testing Facility

这项研究设备赠款是采购两个冷藏室（8'x12'和 8'x16' Bally单元），配有多个冷冻机、循环浴槽、模具， 以及用于制备和测试冰样品的脱气系统。 的 冷藏室是一个更大的设施的一部分， 材料的本构建模，以表征断裂和 连续行为 这个机构正在进行一项研究计划 与北极自然资源开采领域的项目合作， 在海岸和海岸的亚北极地区。 主要重点是 将研究冰力学，冰结构相互作用， 水泥基复合材料力学

This research equipment grant is to procure two cold rooms (8'x12' and 8'x16' Bally units) with several freezers, circulating baths, molds, and a de-airing system for preparing and testing ice specimens. The cold rooms are part of a much larger facility which will be used for constitutive modeling of materials to characterize both fracture and continuum behavior. A research program is underway in this institution with projects in the area of natural resource extraction from Artic and Sub-artic regions both off shore and on shore. Primary emphasis of the research will be on ice-mechanic, ice-structure interaction, and mechanics of cementitious composites.
