MEC 316 - Instrumentation and Solid Mechanics Laboratory


Hands-on experience in solid mechanics and instrumentation with focus on the concept of static and dynamic response. Students learn to operate instruments for measuring displacement, angle, acceleration, and strain. Student groups perform a series of experiments to probe the spatial and temporal resolution of modern instrumentation and sensors in relation with fundamental material properties. Lectures at the beginning of the course provide background information and theories of experimentation. Not to be taken in the same semester as MEC 317 .
