Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Axial-Torsion Fatigue Testing System

为购买高温轴向扭转疲劳系统提供了资金。该设备将大大加强许多研究领域的实验工作，包括复合材料的疲劳和断裂、寿命预测、裂纹扩展和推进器的结构完整性。在该系统中产生的复杂的应力状态对于评估许多材料的蠕变-疲劳响应是很重要的。

Funds are provided for the purchase of a high temperature axialtorsion fatigue system. This equipment will substantially enhance experimental efforts in a multitude of research areas including; fatigue and fracture of composite materials, life prediction, crack propagation and structural integrity of propulsors. The complex state of stress that is created in this system is important in evaluating the creep-fatigue response of many materials.
