Computerized Hydraulic Tensile Test Machine

Abstract

The project goal is developing a computerized hydraulic tensile test machine which is able to test various materials and interface this to the computer. The mechanical structure of this project is available in the university, but it was missed some parts. This machine shall be used by the students in mechanics laboratory in our university. The operation principle is applying force on the specimen until it gets fractured passing through many stages, two sensors acquire the needed data for the test (elongation and pressure), and then that data used by computer to plot the stress-strain curve. The project integrates many fields such as: computer, sensor, mechanics and hydraulics.
