Mechanics of Materials Laboratory Manual

<p>The Mechanical engineers designing products should be knowledgeable about the types of loads acting in beams and components properties of materials stresses strengths and deformations and their failure mechanisms. An engineer should know about the stresses developed inside the mechanical components under different loading conditions. This manual guides the students with detailed testing procedures used to measure the various strengths and hardness of the given materials. This manual describes the importance of the testing methods to calculate the stresses developed in the materials and deformation of the various beams under different loading conditions.</p>
