The Central Laboratory for Materials Mechanical Properties is the primary core facility for mechanical testing on the Northwestern University Evanston campus. The facility offers instrumentation for tensile, compressive, bending and cyclic fatigue testing of materials ranging from softer polymers and elastomers to higher strength metals and composites. A Correlated Solutions Digital Image Correlation setup is available for 2D and 3D strain analysis.
Instrumentation for mechanical testing (DMA) and rheological characterization of very soft materials and fluid samples such as gels or printing inks, is also available within the CLaMMP facility space but managed through the MatCI Facility.
