EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS
Experimental methods for design and analysis of mechanical components, structures and materials. Electrically and optically recorded stress, strain and deformation data; computer acquisition/reduction/presentation techniques; applications to static and transient events, sensors, transducer design, NDT, fracture and residual stresses.
