Strength Of Material (SOM) Laboratory
The Strength of Material (SOM) laboratory contains equipment and facilities for testing different properties of materials as per relevant standards. The laboratory is equipped with universal testing machine (UTM), digital rebound hammer, impact strength testing, tensile testing, flexural testing, and hardness testing apparatus. This laboratory is used by undergraduate students of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, as well as, by research scholars across the University for mechanical characterization of various types of materials. Additionally, this lab houses several setups for demonstrations related to structural engineering and design.
