Career: Evaluation of Stress Redistribution and Notch Sensitivity in Ceramic, Polymer, and Metal Matix Composites

9624705 Mackin这个职业奖是研究微观和宏观力学性能之间的联系。 该教育计划将为本科生提供最先进的实验和理论力学课程，以及与当前工业问题的联系。 研究的重点将放在复合材料的内部应力和应变分布以及这些分布如何随着损伤的累积而变化。 结合使用一种称为SPATE的非接触式应力测量技术和一种新开发的称为DAiSleS的应变映射方法将提供所需的实验数据。 ***

9624705 Mackin This CAREER award is to study the connection between microscopic and macroscopic mechanical properties. The educational plan will provide state-of-the-art programs to experimental and theoretical mechanics for undergraduates as well as a connection with current industrial problems. The research emphasis will be given to internal stress and strain distributions in composites and how these change as damage accumulates. The combined use of a non- contact stress measurement technique known as SPATE and a newly developed strain mapping method called DAiSleS will provide the experimental data needed. ***
