Mechanics of Solids Lab

Demonstrating the basic and advanced principles of mechanics of structural materials at the undergraduate level through a series of experiments is the objective of the mechanics of solids lab. Computer controlled electro hydraulic Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is one of the major equipment installed in Mechanics of Solids Lab. The laboratory has also been equipped with Impact testing machine, column buckling apparatus, shear center apparatus, unsymmetrical bending apparatus etc. In addition to this equipment, advanced equipment in Mechanics of Materials Lab of Mechanical engineering department is shared by Civil Engineering Department. It includes Brinell hardness tester, digital display torsion testing machine, fatigue testing machine, torsion of rods and bars apparatus, optical microscope, area moment bending apparatus etc. This laboratory satisfies the requirements of two courses ‘Mechanics of solids-I’ and ‘Mechanics of solids-II’ as per approved scheme of study.
