Instrumentation for the Dynamic Response and Failure of Polymer Matrix Composites

Abstract

Equipment was purchased to carry out experiments to characterize the dynamic response and failure of polymer composites under dynamic compressive loads. A high speed framing camera with variable frames, instrumentation amplifiers for load cells, strain gage signals, and high-speed data acquisition were purchases. Details are given in the report. The total budget with cost sharing was $370,000.
