The Strength of Materials Laboratory is dedicated to exploring the behavior of materials under various types of loading, such as tension, compression, bending, and torsion. Equipped with modern testing machines, the lab allows students to study stress-strain relationships, material deformation, failure modes, and mechanical properties of metals and composites. This practical exposure helps build a strong foundation in material mechanics essential for design and analysis in engineering applications.
