Bend Testing Cast Beams
In this lab, a three-point bend test is performed on Plaster of Paris cast beams and the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated. The maximum load force at fracture is measured, and is used to calculate the Modulus...
Strength of Materials
This lab investigates two ways in which a member can fail: In tension and in shear. A standard tensile test is performed using the Tensile Samples, and the Tensile Strength is measured. A shear test is then performed (on the same...
Compression Testing Cast Beams
In this lab, Plaster of Paris cast beams are tested to destruction using compression. Quantities measured include Young's Modulus and the Compressive Strength for the material.
Four Point Bending
In this lab, a Four-Point Bend Test is performed on ABS plastic beams from the PASCO Structures System and the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated.
Shear Testing Round Rods
In this lab, a single-shear test is performed on 1/8 inch diameter metal rods. The maximum force needed to shear the rod is measured and used to calculate the Shear Strength of the material. Tested materials include steel, brass,...
Compression Testing
In this lab, a compression test is performed on a polyethylene cylinder. Quantities measured include Young's Modulus and the Yield Strength for the material.
