Fundamentals of Mechanical Testing

• Overview of why and how mechanical testing is used on a wide range of components and materials
• Introduction to physical metallurgy
• Overview of mechanical properties of interest to mechanical and material engineers
• Tensile testing, Hardness testing, Toughness testing, and Fatigue testing
• Detailed descriptions of nondestructive test methods such as liquid penetrant testing, eddy current testing, magnetic particle testing, and ultrasound
• Basic descriptions of other tests such as compressive, shear, creep rupture and torsional.

If you are a manufacturing, engineering, or quality professional working in metal processing, having a solid understanding of mechanical testing is certain to enhance your career. The estimations of physical properties needed to design with, process, and test materials and components are derived using various mechanical tests. These properties include:

• Tensile

• Hardness

• Toughness

• Compression resistance

• Creep resistance

• Shear strength

• Fatigue life

In this course "Fundamentals of Mechanical Testing", you will learn detailed overviews of each of these tests, how they're performed, and how to interpret their results. You will also learn key ideas in physical metallurgy that affect a component's mechanical properties, and a rich overview of nondestructive test methods.

NDT, as it is called, includes a range of methods that allow a technician to gain critical understanding of a component's quality without damaging the sample. These methods include:

• Liquid Penetrant Testing

• Magnetic Particle Inspection

• Radiography

• Eddy Current Testing

• Ultrasonic Testing

• Visual Testing

In this course, we introduce students to these key methods, highlighting their capabilities and uses.
