Since its inception in 1986 the Composite Materials and Structures Center has conducted research programs sponsored by private sector firms as well as from state and federal agencies. The CMSC can tailor programs ranging from focused investigations lasting a few weeks to more complex, multi-year efforts. In addition to contractual research, the CMSC can also engage in testing and analysis services on a time and materials basis. Click here for information on Testing and Analysis.
See also the ongoing activities of the Composite Vehicle Research Center, a center of excellence for the design and testing of composite structures for light-weight environment-friendly, durable, and safe vehicles.
Please see below for a partial listing of research programs conducted over the past 5 years.
