Question

Torsion test on Mild steel experiment short notes
​

Answer 1

Purpose:

To study the shear stress ~ shear strain behavior of the material.

To study the failure pattern of these materials in torsion.

To determine the mechanical properties, e.g, Modulus of elasticity, Modulus of rigidity, Shear strength, shear strain and ductility in torsion.

Apparatus:

10 Ton Buckton Universal Testing Machine

Vernier caliper

Steel Rule
