Engineering Research Equipment: Digital Electronic Control System for Servohydraulic Biomaterials Test Equipment

9411945 Pienkowski本设备拨款建议为伺服液压生物材料测试系统购买电子控制器（含计算机相关配件），该系统致力于支持生物材料工程的研究。该装置将调节液压驱动活塞对试样的拉动或推动运动，测量施加在试样上的力和试样长度的变化，并计算具体的工程材料性能。材料工程研究技术为骨质疏松症的病因和治疗提供了基础知识。拟议中的设备还将为本科生参与正在进行的研究项目创造新的机会。＊＊＊

9411945 Pienkowski This Equipment Grant proposes the purchase of an electronic controller (with computer related accessories) for a servohydraulic biomaterials test system that is dedicated to support research in biomaterials engineering. This device will regulate the movement of a hydraulically driven piston which pulls or pushes on a test specimen, measures the force exerted on the specimen and the change in length of the specimen, and calculates specific engineering materials properties. Materials engineering research techniques provide fundamental knowledge regarding the causes and treatments for osteoporotic bone. The proposed equipment will also create new opportunities for hands-on-involvement of undergraduate students in ongoing research projects. ***
