Laboratory Introduction
The Solid Mechanics Laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering was established in 1992 with the aim of educating students and strengthening their scientific and practical foundations. Equipped with specialized instruments and supported by experienced personnel, this laboratory provides the necessary facilities for investigating the behavior of structural metallic materials under various conditions of tension, compression, bending, torsion, and buckling. The educational activities of this laboratory are organized in the form of nine experiments, which enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical topics presented in the courses of Statics and Strength of Materials (I and II).
In addition to its educational role, the Solid Mechanics Laboratory, through the use of modern equipment such as the 2.5-ton universal testing machine and precision instruments including strain gauges and calibrated dial indicators, also has the capacity to support research projects at the graduate level. By facilitating the comparison of experimental and theoretical results, this laboratory not only enhances students’ technical knowledge but also has the potential to serve as a reliable reference in the analysis and evaluation of the mechanical behavior of materials, playing an effective role in future scientific and industrial research.
