Facilities
http://lambros.ae.illinois.edu/hsrml/Facilities.html
Extensive facilities are currently available in our laboratory for the characterization of mechanical properties of traditional (e.g. metallic) and advanced (e.g. ceramic, composite, functionally graded) materials. In all situations, loading rate can be varied over a large range. An overview of the HIGH STRAIN RATE MECHANICS LAB. MTS Tabletop machine for Quasi-Static testing. Compression Split Hopkinson Bar. Tension Split Hopkinson Bar. For fracture characterization, strain gauge and optical techniques a...
