Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Hydraulic Forming Simulator and Tester

所要求的设备包括专门设计的， 双动液压驱动机器，适用于 与材料成型相关的各种力学测试 运营 精密位置传感器和专用计算机 控制技术可以产生各种操作时间表， 从而允许液压成形模拟器模拟许多 各种标准试验机、工业压力机等 机械装置，同时精确控制和记录负载， 利率和头寸。 将使用液压成形模拟器 由研究人员参与板材成形，锻造，聚合物和 复合材料成型和材料测试。 其灵活的设计 确保它可以作为一个国家的最先进的服务多年 用于成形研究的力学试验平台。

The requested equipment consists of a specially-designed, double-action, hydraulically-actuated machine that is suitable for a variety of mechanical tests related to material forming operations. The precise position sensors and special computer control technology can produce a variety of operating schedules, thereby allowing the Hydraulic Forming Simulator to emulate many kinds of standard testing machines, industrial presses, and other mechanical devices while precisely controlling and recording loads, rates, and positions. The Hydraulic Forming Simulator will be used by researchers involved in sheet forming, forging, polymer and composite forming, and material testing. Its flexible design insures that it can serve for many years as a state-of-the-art mechanical testing platform for forming research.
