They have just finished building a rotating beam test apparatus for pipes up to 1.5- inch diameter. Pipes can be tested either with or without internal pressure. Plans for the future include acquisition of a small shaking table to support research on incabinet spectra, temporary structures and piping components. Various other advanced experimental facilities are available throughout the campus. For example, scanning electron microscopes at the Analytical Instrumentation Facility in the EGRC can be invaluable in studying fatigue and fracture failures.
Many facilities are available to non-university users.
