2-3 Students
Project Duration: 1-2 semesters
Introduction
The laboratory has developed a nanofabricated mechanical testing device for examination of biological materials. A novelty of the approach is that it allows examination of components 1 micrometer in size.
Description
The student will design instrumentation to record load and displacement data collected with the device. The project will involve Labview programming, instrumentation with DAQ cards and integration with microscopy software. It is expected that the student and/or student team will demonstrate the functioning system with mechanical tests of real biological components.
