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

9411945 Pienkowski该设备补助金建议购买一个伺服液压生物材料测试系统的电子控制器（带计算机相关配件），该系统致力于支持生物材料工程研究。 该装置将调节液压驱动活塞的运动，该活塞拉动或推动试样，测量施加在试样上的力和试样长度的变化，并计算特定的工程材料特性。 材料工程研究技术提供了有关骨质疏松的原因和治疗方法的基础知识。 拟议的设备还将为本科生在正在进行的研究项目中的动手参与创造新的机会。 ***

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. ***
