Material Testing Lab

List of Experiments / Activities

1. List of Experiments: (At least 8 of the following)
2. 1Strength test of a given mild steel specimen on UTM with full details and stress versus strain plot on the machine.
3. 2Other tests such as shear, bend tests on UTM.
4. 3Impact test on impact testing machine like Charpy, Izod or both.
5. 4Hardness test of given specimen using Rockwell and Vickers/Brinell testing machines (this test should be conducted on MS Specimen – prior and after the various heat-treatment processes like Annealing / Normalizing / Hardening etc.; with this, 2 experiments can be designed: one for Annealing or Normalizing and another for Hardening / Tempering).
6. 5Fatigue test on fatigue testing machine.
7. 6Creep test on creep testing machine.
8. 7Study of NDT (non-destructive testing) methods like magnetic flaw detector, ultrasonic flaw detector, eddy current testing machine, dye penetrant tests.
9. 8Modelling of Graphene / any other materials structure using LAMMPs (LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator) or any other simulation software and studying the mechanical properties.
10. 9Measurement of mechanical properties (tensile test, compression test, hardness test / flexural test) of specimen made by 3-D printing
