Research
Our group at LSU Center for Rotating Machinery has developed new techniques for measuring, predicting,analyzing components experiencing cyclic fatigue and damage due to degradation. The patented technologies enable one to reliability determine fatigue life in a non-destructive fashion, capable of monitoring structural health, predicting the reaming life of a specimen,and performing accelerated testing for new materials. These technologies are particularly useful for evaluation of the performance of 3D printed components.
