Gelfand Strength of Materials Lab
Dobbs 008
The Gelfand Strength of Materials Laboratory houses electrodynamic and hydraulic testing equipment, which allows students to investigate important material properties such as tensile strength, shear stress, and elasticity. Other major apparatus featured in this lab include a fatigue tester, a beam deflection station, a rotating beam device, an impact tester, a temperature creep tester, and electronic strain gages. Students also analyze various structures and profile the results using graphics software.
