DESTRUCTIVE TEST
DESTRUCTIVE TEST
In Destructive Test we break the specimen
and find out the mechanical properties of
specimen.
Types of destructive Tests:
1. Tensile test
2. Compression test
3. Hardness test
4. Impact test
5. Cupping test
Tensile test
Tensile test perform on UTM ( Universal testing machine)
In this test tensile force is applied on specimen by using UTM.
UNIVERSAL TESTING
MACHINE
SELECTION OF SPECIMEN
Shape of specimen Circular Cross-section,
Square Cross-section , Rectangular Cross-section
It should have Uniform Cross-section.
Ductility
Elasticity
Stiffness
Malleability
Modules of toughness
Modules of resileness
APPLICATION
In aerospace industry.( adhesive bonds, carpets, cables,
gaskets, hoses, seat belts, wiring looms)
In Automotive Industry ( seat belt, handbrake levers,
bumper moldings )
In Electrical and Electronics Industry (electrical wires
, PCB)
Medical Equipment and Materials Industry (surgical
tubes , surgical gloves, silicone rubbers)
Metals and Construction Industry (adhesives, sealants,
mastics, and between layers of brick and foam)
ENGINEERING STRESS
It is define as load applied on material to its original
cross-section area.
Load Applied
Engg. Stress= -----------------------------
Original Cross- Section Area
P
σ = ---------------------------
A0
ENGINEERING STRAIN
Change in length to original length of specimen.
Change in length
Strain = ……………………….
dl
e = ------------------------------------------
l
TRUE STRESS
It is define as instantaneous load to the actual cross
section area of specimen at that instant.
Ductility expressed by
1. Percentage of elongation
2. Percentage of reduction in area
Change in length
Percentage of elongation=---------------------------- * 100
Original length
Change in CA
Percentage of RA = ---------------------------- * 100
Original CA
MALLEABILITY
It is the capacity of material to withstand deformation
under compression without failure.
It is associated with compression force.
COMPRESSION TEST
Compression test is exactly opposite to tensile test.
In this test compressive force applied on the
specimen.
SELECTION OF SPECIMEN
Shape of specimen Circular Cross-section,
Square Cross-section , Rectangular Cross-section
It should have Uniform Cross-section.
L/ D = ( 1.5 to 10) =2
LIMITATION OF COMPRESSION TEST
Top and bottom face should be flat and
parallel.
Accurate measurement of strain is
impossible.
A machine higher capacity can not used
for testing small sample and machine of
lower capacity can not be used for testing
large sample.
During loading careful attention is
required.
Not useful for ductile metals.
HARDNESS
It is the ability of material which is the resist the plastic
deformation.
Low cost.
