List of Experiments / Activities

  1. 1To perform the tension test on metal specimen (M.S., C.I.), to observe the behavior of materials under load, to calculate the value of E, ultimate stress, permissible stress, percentage elongation etc. and to study its fracture.
  2. 2To perform the compression test on; Concrete cylinders &cubes, C.I., M.S. & Wood specimens and to determine various physical and mechanical properties.
  3. 3To determine Young’s modulus of elasticity of beam with the help of deflection produced at centre due to loads placed at centre & quarter points.
  4. 4To perform the Rockwell, Vicker’s and Brinell’s Hardness tests on the given specimens.
  5. 5To perform the Drop Hammer Test, Izod Test and Charpay’s impact tests on the given specimens.
  6. 6Determination of shear strength of soil by Triaxial method.
  7. 7To perform the Rockwell, Vicker’s and Brinell’s Hardness tests on the given specimens.
  8. 8To perform the Drop Hammer Test, Izod Test and Charpay’s impact tests on the given specimens.
  9. 9To Study the Mechanical properties of engineering materials.
