I.F Morrison Structures Lab is used for large scale testing of structures or structural elements. This lab allows our students access to the leading edge technology and equipment such as:
- MTS closed-loop electro-hydraulic testing machines that apply static or slowly applied cyclic loads in tension or compression
- Data acquisition systems consisting of several hundred channels of low speed data acquisition for static testing and 100 channels for high speed data dynamic testing
- Facilities for manufacturing and fabrication of test specimens of metal, concrete, plastics or wood; three high-speed concrete mixers; weight batching system installed in the lab
- High energy impact testing frame couples with high-speed cameras capable of 100,000 frames per second
- 3D digital image correlation system. This hardware allows for non-contact deformation measurement on specimens.
- Upgraded hydraulic system controls to the newest MTS control systems
