based on a laboratory test, in fact, had the twofold tensile strength closer to the carbon steel. This finding then was patented in 1949 in USA as a year of Nodular Cast Iron (NCI) [1,2]. The graphite in nodular cast iron occupies 10-15% of total volume of materials and is evenly spread in the basic structure (matrix) resembling to the carbon steel. Hence, the mechanical properties of nodular cast iron can be directly correlated to the tensile strength and ductility of the matrix it owns as occurred in
2.1.8.4.2. Splitting tensile strength: The splitting tests are well known as indirect tests used for determining the tensile strength of concrete. And sometimes it is referred to as split tensile strength of concrete. The split tensile strength is a more reliable technique to evaluate tensile strength of concrete (lower coefficient of variation) compared to other methods. The split tensile strength specimen of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm or 150 x150 mm cube specimen are placed between two plates with

the polymer brittle and hard. To counter this failure, a fiber that will add strength to the polymer will be added, thus, making a strong fiber-reinforced composite. The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast different fiber reinforced composite that are suitable replacement for some steel parts of a hybrid car based on its weight, cost, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. To compare the strength of different types of fiber, the team used only one fiber geometry for three
Title: Testing the strength of plant fibers Objectives: To develop knowledge and understanding of the strength of plant fiber in a plant stem. To develop problem solving and experimental skills, for example, information is accurately processed, using calculations where appropriate, experimental procedures are planned, designed and evaluated properly, the use of microscopes, producing valid results and recording results. To develop techniques of measuring the size of plant fibers under microscope
comprehensive study on carbon fibre reinforced plastics. The thermal behaviour and dynamic and tensile mechanical properties of polypropylene carbon fibres composites are discussed. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic is similar to fibre glass which is woven into a textile material and resin such as epoxy resin is applied and allowed to cure. The resulting material is very strong and has the best strength to weight ratio of all construction materials. It is an improvement on glass fibre-reinforced plastic
The objective of this lab is to illustrated the procedures required to perform tensile tests. Using data obtained from the test will enable the student to determine various material characteristics that affect the design process. Some findings/interpretations are the stress vs strain curve will help us show how the metal reacted to the forces applied, and the point of failure is very important as it is the ultimate strength. Introduction To test if a metallic material is viable candidate to be used
Luxan Thavarajah ID NUMBER : 1394161 Assignment I Metallurgy of the RMS Titanic Introduction In 19th century, Titanic was the largest moving man-made object in world. And it was the largest luxurious ship in the world has shown the cost of wrong material selection, inappropriate design and unsuitable technology used. Even though a gigantic iceberg caused the titanic to sink inferior materials used in the applications, wrong reverts design, and in quality irons that used in application
ABSTRACT A tensile test is performed on a sample of 1045 normalized construction-grade steel using an Intron load frame. A graph of the engineering stress versus strain of the 1045 steel specimen is constructed from the data collected in the tensile test. Mechanical properties such as the ultimate strength, the fracture strength, and the Young’s modulus of the sample are obtained by further analyzing the stress versus strain graph. These experimental values are compared to the expected mechanical
1. Introduction Friction stir welding is a solid state welding process; this remarkable up-gradation of friction welding was invented in 1991 in The Welding Institute [1]. Figure 1 shows the schematic representation of the Friction Stir Welding process. The process starts with clamping the plates to be welded to a backing plate, so that the plates do not fly away during the welding process. A rotating wear resistant tool is plunged on the interface between the plates to a predetermined depth and
