INTRODUCTION

Properties of the materials are very important in the process of designing the durable

components / machines / structures etc. These properties include mechanical properties,

thermal properties, electrical properties, optical properties or magnetic properties or

deterioration properties. Mechanical engineers are mainly concerned with the mechanical

properties like strength, ductility, hardness, brittleness, toughness, creep, fatigue strength of

the materials. These properties play an important role for the structures and components that

are intended to sustain various type of loads under the given service conditions. Different

applications need specific mechanical properties. Sometimes hardness is required at the

surface of the components, like gears, to make them wear resistant and sometimes toughness is

required to resist impact loading. One of the principle concerns of an engineer is the analysis

of materials used in structural applications. The term structure refers to any design that utilizes

materials that support loads and keeps deformation within acceptable limits. Designing

machines, structures, and vehicles, which are reliable as well a safe and cost effective, requires

a proper knowledge of engineering as well as material selection.

This laboratory provides the know-how of the mechanical properties of the

materials through various experiments on testing machines and equipments. Mainly destructive

testing is used to determine different mechanical properties of the given specimen. The student

will perform tests on materials in tension, torsion, bending, and buckling. These conditions

and/or constraints are designed to reinforce class room theory by having the student perform

required tests, analyze subsequent data, and present the results in a professionally prepared

report.

INTRODUCTION

The lab develops the students with the knowledge and working of different types of

governors and gear mechanisms up-to graduation level. The students perform experiments of

determination of gyroscopic couple, study of working principle of centrifugal governors, journal

bearing and other basic mechanisms to have practical knowledge on design and analysis of

mechanisms in machines. Mechanisms form the basis of any machine and it is an assemblage of

rigid bodies so that they move upon each other with definite relative motion. With the study of

rigid bodies motions and forces for the transmission systems, machine kinematics and dynamics

can be well understood. Demonstration exercises are provided with wide varieties of

transmission element models to understand machine kinematics. Various experiments with

governors, gyroscopes, balancing machines are available to understand machine dynamics.

INTRODUCTION

Computer aided design lab help to inculcate the design skill among the students of

Mechanical Engineering stream. In this lab students improve their design dexterity by design

software’s. Automatic design of machine parts is a difficult task in the traditional regime.

Traditionally, first design the part and then produce prototype to analyses its performance. But

now day each activity of design and analysis performed online by using computer and further

can be automated with latest CAD tools.

Design activity comprises selection of material, shape, and aesthetics of part where as the

analysis and simulation technique related to performance investigation of part. To investigate the

performance of part under service conditions different analysis viz. stress strain, heat transfer etc.

are performed. If some problems persist in designing of part, then modify it repeat the process of

analysis and simulation.

INTRODUCTION

A fluid machine is a device which converts the energy stored by a fluid into mechanical

energy or vice versa. The energy stored by a fluid mass appears in the form of potential, kinetic

and intermolecular energy. The mechanical energy, on the other hand, is usually transmitted by

a rotating shaft. Machines using liquid (mainly water, for almost all practical purposes) are

termed as hydraulic machines.The lab apparatus is very much helpful for the students to fortify

their theoretical knowledge.

INTRODUCTION

Research Laboratory in Yadavindra College of Engineering was established with the

funds received by faculty of Mechanical Engineering Section for two major research projects

sanctioned from Department of Science and Technology (DST), New Delhi for combating with

the erosion/corrosion problems in boiler tubes and pulverized coal burner nozzles in thermal

power plants. The research lab has a focused area evolved from problems of frequent shutdowns

in thermal power plants and deals with advanced surface engineering research to cope with the

challenges faced by industries. In addition to solving the problems encountered by thermal power

plants, the lab is also used by Ph.D and M.Tech. research scholars for doing their research related
