This project aims to enable use of metal additive manufacturing (AM) in fatigue and fracture critical applications via two main thrusts: Develop appropriate
We develop methods to evaluate the mechanical behavior of micro- and mesoscale metal alloys to fracture, and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) materials
The growing sophistication of electronic medical devices results in two broad benefits for both individuals and society: improved survivability in the face of
CERTIFIED LOW- AND HIGH-ENERGY CHARPY SPECIMENS AVAILABLE FOR TESTING AT 21 °C (70 °F) SRM 2092 AND 2096 (LOW-ENERGY AND HIGH-ENERGY, -40 °C) HAVE BEEN
This project develops measurements, modeling, and science relevant to the effect of hydrogen on materials. Mechanical measurements focus on the fatigue and
Our goal is to develop and demonstrate a MEMS-based methodology for evaluating time-dependent mechanical properties of materials that undergo exposure to
Proficiency Test (PT) results are available at no cost to customers who have tested SRMs 2092, 2096, and 2098. A PT result serves as a means to verify the
Our goal is to provide standard test methods and critical data to the pipeline industry to improve safety and reliability. Of particular interest is the testing
The Resonating Platforms project is focused on developing resonant-acoustic devices and methods for characterizing the interactions of microbes with chemical
Imagine an MRI or CT technique that can peer inside structural materials (e.g., steels) and visualize the strain experienced by structures as they support loads
