- Tension test on
- Hardness test on metals using the Rockwell and Brinell
- Impact tests on metals using the Charpy and Izod
- Helical spring
- Static bending test on
- Static bending test on
- Compression tests on
- Deflection test to verify the Maxwell reciprocal
- Axial loading testing for Poisson’s ratio
In addition to the conventional tests, students are assigned to open lab projects that involve experimental studies including fabrication and setting up unconventional testing methods to understand the basic concepts of strength of materials.
Objectives and Outcomes
Course Objectives
To supplement the theoretical knowledge gained in Mechanics of Materials, this course provides students opportunities to become familiar with standard mechanical testing methods and provides fundamental properties of engineering materials under axial, bending, torsional and impact loads.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Know how to estimate the strength of the materials using Universal testing machine and Impact test.
CO2: Obtain the material properties like young modulus and Poisson’s ratio experimentally.
CO3: Verify the fundamental theories using experiment.
CO4: Identify the open lab problem statement, perform the experiment and presentation.
