Eng. Hassan Nedal Alawd (Mechanical Engineer and Researcher)
Abstract
This research details the development and implementation of a mechanical tensile test system designed to meet ASTM D638 standards. The system underwent significant modifications in both hardware and software, including redesigned grips for securing samples and extensive modifications to Arduino programming codes governing testing parameters and data extraction methods. The research aims to provide a robust and versatile mechanical tensile testing system compliant with ASTM D638 standards.
