AKTU Materials Testing Lab (BME352) Syllabus PDF – B.Tech 2nd Year

CO-1: Students will be able to perform different destructive and non-destructive testing methods to measure various mechanical properties. (K2) CO-2: Students will be able to analyse the effect of different heat-treatment processes on the Hardness. (K4) CO-3: Students will be able to simulate the material using simulating software / measure the mechanical properties of 3-D printed components. (K3)

List of Experiments

1. Strength test of a given mild steel specimen on UTM with full details and stress versus strain plot on the machine.
2. Other tests such as shear, bend tests on UTM.
3. Impact test on impact testing machine like Charpy, Izod or both.
4. Hardness 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).
5. Fatigue test on fatigue testing machine.
6. Creep test on creep testing machine.
7. Study of NDT (non-destructive testing) methods like magnetic flaw detector, ultrasonic flaw detector, eddy current testing machine, dye penetrant tests.
8. Modelling of Graphene / any other materials structure using LAMMPs (LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator) or any other simulation software and studying the mechanical properties.
9. Measurement of mechanical properties (tensile test, compression test, hardness test / flexural test) of specimen made by 3-D printing
