The Mechanics of Materials Laboratory, which was founded in 1975,               will be upgraded and expanded.  The laboratory consists of an MTS               axial/torsion servohydraulic mechanical testing system with                     computer control.  The upgrading is for the high-temperature (up                to 1000 degrees C) biaxial testing capability and relates to                    electronics, calibration of biaxial extensometers, and gripping                 of specimens.  The addition of a pressurization system is                       necessary to perform discriminating tests in support of work on                 the structure of the evolution law of the kinematic stress tensor               in infinite, time-independent plasticity.
