What is MATERIAL TESTING?
Materials Testing is a highly precise and reliable set of
processes that measure material characteristics, such as
properties, structure and composition, against specified
criteria. The data and test results determine whether
materials, fasteners and treatments meet the
requirements of design engineers and regulatory
agencies, and are suitable for their intended application
Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion occurs when an object expands
and becomes larger due to a change in the object's
temperature.
= change in length
= original length
= change in temperature
= linear coefficient of thermal expansion
L
=
Fractional change in
length which is natural
quatity to use.
The change in
temperature determines
How much the material the fractional change in
expands. length.
Beam Deflection
The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is
the distance between its position before and after
loading
The deformation of a beam is usually expressed in
terms of its deflection from its original unloaded
position. The deflection is measured from the original
neutral surface of the beam to the neutral surface of
the deformed beam.
The curved shape of the longitudinal
centroidal surface of a beam when the
transverse loads acting on it produced
wholly elastic stresses
The curve along which the axis of a
beam is bent under the action of a load
