Solid Mechanics Laboratory

The Solid Mechanics Laboratory was established in 1992 with the aim of educating undergraduate students. This laboratory plays a complementary role alongside the courses of Statics and Strength of Materials (I and II). By offering nine practical experiments, it helps students better understand theoretical concepts and compare experimental results with theoretical calculations. The main objective of this laboratory is to familiarize students with the behavior of structural metallic materials under various conditions of tension, compression, bending, torsion, and buckling, from the elastic range up to failure. In addition, if properly equipped, it is capable of supporting research activities at the master’s level as well.
