Undergraduate Nondestructive Evaluation Facility

该项目扩大了该机构现有的 材料计划包括最先进的无损 材料和制造部件的评估。 设备 包括：扫描激光声学 显微镜，声发射分析系统，图像分析系统 和涡流检测装置。 这些计算机接口设备是 用于评估金属和非金属材料。 使用增强材料实验室的学生能够进行实验 具有：材料识别、缺陷检测、缺陷尺寸 测定，半导体连续性，烧结效率， 复合材料脱粘，疲劳裂纹扩展，马氏体 焊接缺陷检测和氢的表征 损害 这一奖励将由受赠方提供同等数额的资金。

This project expands this institution's already existing materials program to include state-or-the-art nondestructive evaluation of materials and manufactured components. The equipment incorporated into the lab includes: a scanning laser acoustic microscope, acoustic emission analysis system, image analysis system and eddy current test device. These computer interfaced devices are used to evaluate both metallic and non-metallic materials. Students using the enhanced materials lab are able to experiment with: material identification, flaw detection, flaw size determination, semiconductor continuity, sintering efficiency, debonding of composites, fatigue crack propagation, martensitic transformations, weld flaw detection and characterization of hydrogen damage. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
