Acquisition of Test Equipment to Characterize Structural Composites.

这项提议是为设备提供支持，以支持用于建造道路、桥梁和建筑的材料的研究。这项工作包括在不同环境条件下和在长期使用下研究材料。例如，适用于复合材料和混凝土的冻融条件，可在较宽的温度范围内保持弹性常数。将购买的设备包括带有湿度控制的热室、滚筒手柄和引伸仪，和一个高分辨率的紫外线显微镜；动态机械分析仪；X射线设备；计算机数据采集板；一组用于现场工作的伺服传感器、便携式计算机和数据采集系统。

This proposal is for equipment to support research in materials used to make roads, bridges and buildings. The work includes the study of materials under varying environmental conditions and under long-term use. For example, freeze-thaw conditions applied to composite materials and concrete, elastic constants over wide temperature ranges. The equipment which will be purchased includes a thermal chamber with humidity control, roller grips and extensometer, and a high-resolution uv microscope; a dynamic mechanical analyzer; x-ray equipment; a data acquisition board for a computer; a collection of servo's sensors, portable computers and data acquisition systems for field work.
