Directed by Dr. Oleksandr Kravchenko and Dr. Dipankar Ghosh
The Experimental and Mechanics and Composite Materials Laboratory is a graduate teaching and research laboratory. The lab houses transmission and reflection polariscopes, an MTS material testing system with data acquisition facilities for low and high-temperature testing of materials, and a dark room for photography. The lab also has facilities for composites-related work, such as a diamond saw, acid digestion, and moisture absorption.
