ABOUT: The Utah Composites Laboratory (UCL) is directed by Dr. Mike Czabaj. UCL conducts research in the broad area of experimental and computational mechanics of composite materials and structures. Specific areas of interest include damage resistance and tolerance of composite structures, mechanical property characterization of composite materials, fracture mechanics, micromechanics, and X-ray computed tomography of damage and failure.
Research Topics:
Test Method Development
Novel Composite Systems
Finite Element Model Validation
Extreme Temperatures
