Materials Testing Machine: Design, Fabrication, and Assembly of a Benchtop Universal Materials Tester
PublicThe goal of this project was to prototype an inexpensive, easy-to-use, universal materials tester for hands-on learning in large undergraduate classroom settings. The project realized the design, fabrication, and assembly of a 26”x8”x7” benchtop machine able to apply tensile loads to round and flat specimens. The design is modular, with compression, wire, and bending test capabilities. Supplemental materials include a comprehensive operational package including CAD, CAM, and pertinent resources to implement the maintenance and development of current and future machines.
