Experimental Facilities for the Investigation of Brittle Rock Deformation

9305155王：本奖项提供部分拨款，以建造伺服控制的压力产生系统，以及购置设备，以提升研究围压下脆性岩石变形的实验设备。升级后的测试设备将在纽约州立大学石溪分校的地球和空间科学系安装和运行。该大学承诺提供设备升级所需的剩余资金。在首席调查员的实验室中，需要该仪器来研究岩石破裂作为地震原因的机制。***

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. ***
