Strength of Materials Laboratory

  • Selection of Materials for a particular application is a difficult task, to select a proper material for a particular application it is must to know about the material characteristics.
  • Mechanical properties such as tensile, compressive, impact, shear, strengths, Hardness etc., are the primary properties for design of any device.
  • As a Mechanical engineer, this is must to know how to measure and analyze the above properties by using various testing instruments.
  • To supplement the theoretical knowledge gained in Mechanics of Solids with practical testing for determining the strength of materials under externally applied loads.
  • This would enable the student to have a clear understanding of the design for strength and stiffness.
