Purchase of a Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer

该合同为购买机械光谱仪提供支持，该光谱仪将用于测量聚合物流体和固体的线性和非线性粘弹性响应。它是来自化学工程、工程科学和机械、化学以及弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学森林产品系的教职员工和学生研究计划的组成部分。首席研究员是唐纳德·G·贝尔德教授。

This award provides support for the purchase of a mechanical spectrometer which will be used to measure the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic response of polymeric fluids and solids. It forms an integral part of the research programs of faculty and students from chemical engineering, engineering science and mechanics, chemistry, and the forest products department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The principal investigator is Professor Donald G. Baird.
