Welcome to UTEP's CMS Laboratory!
Welcome to UTEP's CMS Laboratory!
Our research focuses on fracture mechanics and failure analysis of fiber reinforced composite materials to meet the design needs of the next generation of space vehicles and space exploration.
The CMS Lab trains high-quality researchers and engineers, develops new technologies, and provides novel solutions to lightweight material and structure design, manufacturing, and advanced finite element modeling.
