Introduction to Mechanical Testing Techniques

This video provides an overview of mechanical testing techniques, such as tensile and bend testing, for gathering design data and making comparisons.

00:00:07 This video provides an introduction to mechanical testing techniques, including tensile testing, bend testing, CTOD testing, hardness testing, and the world brake test. The tests are used to gather data for design and make comparisons. Tensile testing measures material strength and ductility.

Mechanical testing is essential for designing structures and involves quantitative and qualitative tests.

Tensile testing is a type of mechanical test that measures the ultimate tensile strength, yield point, and ductility of a material.

Other mechanical testing techniques include bend testing, sharpen and ctod testing, hardness testing, and the world brake test.

00:01:53 An introduction to mechanical testing techniques including the bend test for evaluating ductility and soundness of materials. Testing equipment varies and includes the sharpie v-notch test for measuring toughness.

πŸ“ The bend test is a qualitative method used to evaluate the ductility and soundness of welded joints.

πŸ” The bend test reveals defects or signs of embrittlement by plastically deforming the outside of the bend.

πŸ“ The toughness of a material is measured using the sharpie v-notch test, which measures the amount of energy required to cause fracture.

00:03:39 Introduction to mechanical testing techniques for notched specimens to measure fracture toughness using a controlled weight pendulum and crack-tip opening displacement test.

πŸ”‘ Mechanical testing techniques involve using notched specimens to measure the energy required to break a material.

πŸ“ Fracture toughness is determined by measuring the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing the specimen.

⚑ The crack-tip opening displacement test (CTOD) is used to accurately measure fracture toughness and assess fitness for purpose.

00:05:26 This video introduces mechanical testing techniques used to characterize fracture behavior and make decisions about fitness for service. It covers various test specimens and quantitative and qualitative tests.

πŸ’‘ Mechanical testing techniques involve bending a specimen until a fracture occurs.

πŸ’‘ Different specimen geometries, such as single edged notched bend and compact tension, can be used to characterize fracture behavior.

πŸ’‘ CTOD tests enable calculation of critical flaw sizes and decisions about fitness for service, while qualitative tests provide a go or no-go result.

00:07:09 Introduction to mechanical testing techniques including hardness testing with Vickers and Rockwell methods.

πŸ” Mechanical testing techniques include hardness testing and ductility temperature testing.

πŸ—žοΈ The Vickers hardness test and the Rockwell hardness test are commonly used to measure resistance to indentation and tensile strength.

πŸ”§ Specialist hardness testing is useful for determining hardness in cramped service components.

00:08:54 Introduction to mechanical testing techniques including noop test, Vickers test, and micro hardness test. Also, the fill it fracture or weld break test to examine weld soundness.

πŸ” There are three common methods of mechanical testing: the noop test, the Vickers test, and the micro hardness test.

🌐 The noop test and the Vickers test use a pyramid-shaped indenter and require a hundred times magnification microscope to see and measure the impressions.

πŸ› οΈ The fill it fracture or weld break test is a simple test used to examine the soundness of welds, typically performed in a production environment.
