Characterisation of material of a circular shaft by Torsional deformation and microscopy
Budget: $30 – $250 SGD
A key part of the applied mechanics of materials module is to present the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of engineering material response to externally applied loads. These loads could be axial, torsional, bending or a combination of these. The material response has a direct relationship with the material properties which are the module of elasticity (E) and modules of rigidity (G) for solid materials.
In this Project, a circular bar is loaded in torsion to fracture. Its response to loading and the fractured surface will be studied to characterise the bar. Thus, two experiments 1 and 2 will be carried out to achieve the aim of the research investigation.
