REG: Acquisition of a High-Capacity Universal Testing Machine

米勒 阿普尔顿 正在进行的研究是在非常高强度的混凝土领域， 这就需要一台高容量的万能试验机。 因此，设备将大大提高质量， 正在进行的以及拟议的民间研究项目的范围 工程部。 所需的设备将提供一个独特的 设施的亚拉巴马州和大型工业社区 在伯明翰，因此鼓励研究人员之间的互动 并可能激发新的研究思路。 该设备包括一个 600 kip大容量液压万能试验机 自动闭环伺服控制和完整的数据采集， 分析系统 它将提供进行 继续研究高强度混凝土材料，以及 新的火山灰添加剂的研究，有助于 生产高强度混凝土。

Miller Appleton Ongoing research is in the area of very high-strength concrete for which a high capacity Universal Testing Machine is a necessity. Hence, equipment would greatly enhance the quality and extend the scope of ongoing, as well as proposed, research projects in the Civil Engineering Department. The desired equipment will provide a unique facility to the State of Alabama and the large industrial community in Birmingham, and hence encourage interactions between researchers and possibly inspire new research ideas. The equipment consists of a 600 kip high-capacity hydraulic Universal Testing Machine with automatic closed loop servo control and complete data acquisition and analysis system. It will provide the capability of conducting continuing research on high-strength concrete material, as well as the study of new pozzolanic additives that contribute to the production of high-strength concrete.
