MTS High Temperature Testing System

Abstract

This report describes the MTS High Temperature Testing System which was funded by AFSOR under the DURIP Program and installed at Drexel University. This testing system is dedicated exclusively for basic studies on the micromechanics behaviors of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites under extreme temperature conditions. Owing to its very high temperature capability and versatility to perform tests in several testing configurations, this equipment has casted a positive impact on current AFOSR and other DOD funded research programs on ceramic-matrix composites conducted at Drexel University. It is the intention of this research group and the University to continue further developing our high-temperature mechanics capacity for the next generation of composite materials. (EG)
