250 kN Fatigue Rated Dynamic Materials Test System

当前的基础设施问题突出了充分理解传统材料的结构响应以及开发可持续和耐用的强大高性能材料的重要性。所要求的250 kN动态伺服液压材料测试系统将帮助我们实现这些目标，并提高我们在混凝土、聚合物、钢材、木材和复合材料方面的测试能力。土木工程系正在进行的研究活动的例子，其中所要求的设备将证明是非常宝贵的，包括研究：用于纤维增强混凝土的新型纤维，可持续的修复技术，用于结构健康监测的传感器，用于木材接头的设计工具的开发，复杂应变历史下钢筋的本构特性，用于水处理的机械鲁棒新型膜材料，埋地聚乙烯管对地面运动的响应，以及土工合成材料的应变率敏感响应。因此，该设备将服务于土木工程专业的研究需求，包括材料，结构，岩土工程，地震和环境工程。

Current infrastructure concerns have highlighted the importance of fully understanding the constitutive responses of traditional materials as well as developing robust high performance materials that are both sustainable and durable. The requested 250 kN Dynamic Servo-Hydraulic Materials Test System will help us in these pursuits and improve our testing capabilities in concrete, polymers, steel, wood and composites. Examples of on-going research initiatives in the Department of Civil Engineering where the requested equipment will prove invaluable include the research in: novel fibers for fiber reinforced concrete, sustainable repair technologies, sensors for structural health monitoring, developing of design tools for timber joints, constitutive properties of reinforcing bars under complex strain histories, mechanically robust novel membrane materials for water treatment, the response of buried polyethylene pipes subjected to ground movements, and strain-rate sensitive responses of geosynthetics. The equipment will thus serve the research needs of f specialties within civil engineering including materials, structural, geotechnical, earthquake and environmental engineering.
