MECH 2501 - Mechanics of Materials Lab

This is a lab course to supplement MECH 2503, Mechanics of Materials. It is a required co-requisite with MECH 2503 for several Mechanical Engineering Technology curricula and highly recommended (but not required) for all others. The emphasis of the course is on materials testing and the resulting technical reports. Tests covered include the tensile and compression tests of various materials, as well as torsion test and fatigue test. There are also exercises in measurement and calculation to verify important relationships developed in MECH 2503, such as Moment of Inertia and stresses developed in members under load.
