Miniaturized Mechanical Tester for the Multiscale Testing of Biomaterials and Metamaterials

Abstract

They requested funds for the acquisition of the Alemnis mechanical tester and complementary high-temperature and high-dynamics modules to conduct dynamic compression and bending/fracture experiments on nano/micro-scale biomaterials. To image deformation and failure in realtime, a Phantom v611 high-speed camera was also requested to be interfaced with the Alemnis tester in a Nikon upright microscope.
