Gnyarienn Selva Kumar (left) and Doreen Rahman, both master’s students in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, operate on a strut ahead of a compression test that will inform the design of a potential roadside barrier.

The graduate students are researching in the lab of Cody Stolle, assistant director of the Nebraska-housed Midwest Roadside Safety Facility. Stolle and colleagues recently earned a grant to design barriers that will protect military installations against the specific threats posed by electric vehicles.
