Experiment No. 7 Double Shear On MS Rod: Name: Neehar Mehta Roll No.: K038 Batch: C2

The document describes an experiment to determine the ultimate shear strength of a mild steel rod through a double shear test using a universal testing machine, where a rod with a diameter of 8mm was sheared at a maximum load of 240kN, giving a calculated shear strength of the rod as 2387.3280MPa. The procedure involved gripping one end of the rod in the upper portion of the testing machine and the other end in the lower portion and gradually increasing the load until the specimen sheared.

DOUBLE SHEAR TEST ON MILD STEEL ROD


Date: 11/02/22
Experiment No: 7

Title: Double Shear Test on MS specimen

AIM:

1. To determine,the ultimate shear strength in double shear of mild steel rod


experimentally.
2. To determine the failure of the specimen.

APPARATUS:

Universal testing machine, MS Rod, Vernier Caliper, Shear setup, etc.

THEORY:

In direct shear test, the shearing stress is considered as uniformly distributed over the entire
cross section. The shear force is applied by a suitable test rig, two different cases of shearing
may arise, i.e. , single shear and double shear. In single shear shearing occurs across a single
surface and in double shear shearing occurs across two surfaces. Knowledge of shear failure is
important while designing any structures or machine components. Shear force causes the
surface to go out of the alignment with each other and thus the material fails.

Procedure:
1. Insert the specimen in position and grip one end of the attachment in the upper portion
and one end in the lower portion.
2. Switch on the main switch of universal testing machine machine
3. The drag indicator in contact with the main indicator.
4. Select the suitable range of loads and space the corresponding weight in the pendulum
and balance it if necessary with the help of small balancing weights.
5. Operate (push) buttons for driving the motor to drive the pump.
6. Gradually move the head control level in left-hand direction till the specimen shears.
7. Down the load at which the specimen shears.
8. Stop the machine and remove the specimen

Observation Table:

Serial no. C2

Identification mark K038

Diameter of Rod (mm) 8 mm

Maximum load on the specimen (N) 240 kN

Cross sectional area in mm2 50.2654 mm2

Calculation:

P = Maximum Load (N) = 240KN = 240000 N


A = Cross sectional area in mm2 = 50.2654 mm2
2A = 2* Cross sectional area in mm2 = 2*50.2654 mm2 = 100.5308 mm2

τc = P/ 2A

τc = Shear strength (N/mm2)


= 240000/ (2*50.2654)
= 2387.3280 N/mm2
Result:
τc = 2387.3280 N/mm2

Conclusion: The shear strength of MS Rod is 2387.3280 MPa
