Experimental Facilities for the Investigation of Brittle Rock Deformation

小行星9305155 该合同提供了部分资金，用于建造一个伺服控制的压力发生系统，并购买设备，以升级一个实验设施，用于研究围压下的脆性岩石变形。升级后的测试装置将在斯托尼布鲁克的纽约州立大学地球和空间科学系安装和操作。大学承诺提供设备升级所需的其余资金。 该仪器是首席研究员实验室研究岩石破裂作为地震原因的机制所需的。 ***

9305155 Wong This award provides partial funding to construct a servo- controlled pressure generation system and to purchase equipment to upgrade an experimental facility for the study of brittle rock deformation under confining pressure. The upgraded testing apparatus is to be installed and operated in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the State University of New York in Stony Brook. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the equipment upgrade. The apparatus is needed for research in the Principal Investigator's laboratory on the mechanism of rock rupture as the cause of earthquakes. ***
