- CE8381 – Strength of Materials and Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory (II Year – IV Semester)
Strength of materials laboratory will demonstrate the basic principles in the area of strength, mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the students through a series of experiments. Measuring the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, and ductility is conducted in this lab. Great strides in the world of mechanics have been achieved only through keen experimental observations. This laboratory demonstrating the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the students through a series of experiments is the objective of this lab. Measuring the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, and ductility by using the equipment’s like Universal testing machine, Torsion testing machine, Impact testing machine, Brinell hardness testing machine, Rockwell hardness testing machine, etc. With the acquired knowledge, students can able to predict the behavior of the structures in the engineering field.
