Structural Durability and Fatigue Performance Group

Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics
The University of Alabama

Computational Facilities

The Structural Durability and Fatigue Performance Group has acquired several computer systems over the years.
Each computer was at the high end when purchased. I have been attempting to operate on a 4-year replacement cycle,
although some older systems are still in use due to special purpose data acquistion cards that are installed in them.

The computers are named after people famous in the area mechanics.
