Material Characterization Laboratory

Material Characterization Laboratory demonstrates the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments. In this lab the experiments are performed to measure the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, fatigue strength etc.
