&RPSRVLWH 0DWHULDOV /DERUDWRU\ The Composite Materials Laboratory is used mainly for research in penetration and fracture mechanics of composite materials, the characterization of associated dynamic failure modes, and understanding the physics of dynamic failures of new generation of composite materials. The lab is equipped with a high-performance penetrating and fracturing Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) integrated to a high speed optical/CCD imaging system for high strain rate testing. The system is capable of capturing dynamic fracture, crack propagation, and fragmentation processes during composite materials failure at over 2 million frames per second. The lab operates a laser Raman Spectroscopy for characterization of residual strengths and micro micromechanical properties of composite materials with 1 mm resolution. Heat, moisture absorption, dynamic impact, or a combination of these factors results in transformation of micromechanical properties of composite materials in the region of damage and beyond. Laser Raman spectroscopy is used to directly measure fiber stress at the microscopic level because Raman frequencies or unique atomic vibrational energy levels of the constituent fibers are stress-strain dependent. In many crystalline or paracrystalline materials, the Raman peak position shifts linearly to lower wave numbers under tensile strains and to higher wave number under compressive strains. Composite materials of interest include woven composites, advanced composite materials, nanocomposites, smart composite, and high-temperature materials such as ceramics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he primary objective of the Computational Transport Phenomena Laboratory is to conduct theoretical research in fluid mechanics, combustion, heat and mass transfer, applied mathematics, and numerical methods. The emphasis of current research in this laboratory is on â&#x20AC;&#x153;understanding physicsâ&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;developing numerical algorithms.â&#x20AC;? Several areas of current investigations are turbulent mixing, chemically reacting flows, highspeed combustion and propulsion, transition and turbulence, nano-scale heat transfer, magnetohydrodynamics, and plasma physics. The numerical methodologies in use consist of spectral methods (collocation, Galerkin), variety of finite difference, finite volume and finite element schemes, Lagrangian methods, and many hybrid methods such as spectral-finite element and spectral-finite difference schemes. The laboratory is equipped with high-speed mini-supercomputers, graphic systems, and stateof-the-art hardware and software for "flow visualization." Most computations require the use of off-site supercomputers (mostly parallel platforms), for which high-speed links are available.

Much of the research in this laboratory examines the behavior complex fluids, such as polymeric solutions, suspensions, and biological fluids in processing-like flows. Laboratory work focuses on the understanding of the link between flow behavior and the material properties so that materials can be processed more efficiently to yield the desired characteristics. In obtaining this goal, this laboratory develops and applies many cutting-edge technologies to obtain precise, in situ measurements of fluid velocity, stress, pressure, and temperature. These measurements are compared with direct numerical simulations to model, understand, and predict the flow behavior.

-RKQ $ 6ZDQVRQ ,QVWLWXWH IRU 7HFKQLFDO ([FHOOHQFH The John A. Swanson Center for Product Innovation is a Swanson School of Engineering initiative that consists of four state-of-the-art laboratories that serve as a focal point for product development research and education at the University. The SCPI has been configured to provide a one-stop shop for University researchers and manufacturing and bioengineering companies interested in developing innovative new products and processes. The center ties together four otherwise distinct laboratories that parallel the new product's development lifecycle of design, prototyping, and manufacturing. It includes the Design and Multimedia Laboratory, the W.M. Keck Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering Laboratory, the Kresge Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory, and the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Laboratory. These laboratories contain design workstations, reverse engineering equipment, rapid prototyping equipment (that allows the manufacturing of polymer-based prototypes), rapid manufacturing equipment (that will produce fully functional prototypes and soft tooling), and micro- and nano-scale design technology. -RKQ $ 6ZDQVRQ 0LFUR 1DQRWHFKQRORJ\ /DERUDWRU\ The Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Laboratory is a newly established research and educational facility directed for design, fabrication, and performance characterization of various engineering systems in micro- and nano-scales. This laboratory is built upon the existing capabilities in precision manufacturing, smart materials and transducers, rapid prototyping, and semiconductor fabrication in the School of Engineering.

For the typical silicon-based MEMS processing, the school is already equipped with various workstations and laboratories for lithography, thin-film deposition, wet-etching, bonding, and device characterization. The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Laboratory is currently expanding its research capabilities to both nano-scale devices and non-silicon-based thickfilm micro-devices. New fabrication equipment, such as thick-film deposition/patterning facilities, deep reactive ion etching facilities, and special equipment to develop MEMS devices for biological and medical applications, is being established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
