SUMMARY:Introduction to Static Materials Testing
DESCRIPTION:In this one-day course\, students will learn about materials testing. The course highlights the basics of materials testing including mechanical properties\, different types of testing\, stress/strain test curves\, modulus\, yield\, and application testing with demonstrations on computerized materials test instruments. Students will observe tensile\, compressive\, flexural\, and peel tests to learn to interpret test curves and calculated results. Download the course outline to see the full program. \nAfter completing this course\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand basic materials testing terminology\, theory and concepts\nUnderstand typical force/displacement test curves and be able to distinguish between different types of curves\nDo’s and Dont’s when running typical tensile\, compression\, flexure\, and peel tests\nLearn good testing procedures when using a computerized testing instrument to perform tension\, compression\, flexural and peel testing\nLearn the importance of system calibration for data accuracy\nUnderstand specimen geometry and the importance of specimen dimensions\nCalculate stress\, strain\, elongation\, modulus\, offset yield\, and other advanced calculations\nBe able to interpret test curves and to label major points and results\nUnderstand different types of strain measurements and devices\n\nRegister for This Course
