Experimental Solid Mechanics and Manufacturing Lab (ESMML)
Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Experimental Solid Mechanics and Manufacturing Lab (ESMML) contains equipment characteristic of a mechanical or materials engineering, and individuals with a strong background in any of these areas are particularly encouraged to apply. Projects in this laboratory are a weighted combination of experimental, analytical, and numerical work. Previous exposure to any of the following subject areas would have direct relevance to our pursuits:
Students will each be assigned to an interdisciplinary project that may feature a combination of experimental, numerical, or analytical work, depending on the background and interests of the researcher. In addition to the experience of planning and executing a major engineering project, a researcher may acquire exposure and expertise in some of the following fields:
