Material Testing
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this chapter to make students learn about conducting various laboratory tests so as to determine important mechanical properties of materials such as tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, ductility, modulus of elasticity, hardness, impact strength, torsional shear strength and stiffness. Different technical institutions have different types of testing machines; therefore, discussion on apparatus and features of the testing machines are beyond the scope this book. However, attachments used to perform a particular test on a machine has been discussed.
Many reputed Indian institutions use devices, such as tensometer (a machine used to perform about a dozen of mechanical ...
