Composite Material Systems for Use in Bridge Applications

This project will provide research in developing a specimen for fabrication and a peel-off test apparatus for manufacturing. Progress expected in several different areas, including completion of the Marx Generator test rig, fabrication of specialized test platens, instrumentation and fabrication of specimens. In the future, there will be more testing and further characterization of superconducting specimens.
