June, 2013
ME 312 – Mechanics of Materials Lab Catalog Description: Strength of materials experiments including: hardness, tensile and compression, impact, torsion, creep, buckling and fatigue tests. Experiments on thin-walled pressure vessels, nondestructive testing, and heat treatment of steel Prerequisites: Mechanics of Materials Engineering Materials Text: The lab manual, prepared by the department, besides handouts on the experiments, which will be given in the lab Course Objectives: The Mechanics of Materials Laboratory course is intended to supplement the classroom instruction in the mechanics of Mechanics of Materials course ME214. By the end of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Write a technical report and analyze experimental data. 2. List and explain applicable experimental methods for characterizing material behavior 3. Compare measured experimental results and calculated theoretical values. 4. Predict component behavior using experimental test results and engineering formulae Experiments: 1. Hardness test 2. Tension test 3. Compression & impact tests 4. Torsion test 5. Thin-walled pressure vessels 6. Beam bending test 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Buckling and Fatigue tests Creep test + Mid Term Exam Metallographic analysis Non destructive test Heat treatment Casting
Grading: Lab reports Mid term exam Final Exam

Course Policy 1. All reports must be prepared on the computer using any software of the student’s choice. 2. Report must be submitted one week from performing the experiment, unless stated otherwise. Late reports are not accepted. 3. The report must be prepared according to the format given bellow. 4. It is not allowed to use other student’s work or cut and paste material from the internet to prepare your report. Copying reports from other students is not tolerated.
