i have a project topic at hand its about the construction of a test bench for the determination of stress and strain in an automobile alloy rim.i need information about it.thanks alot
There are small hydraulic pumps, either manual or motorized, that can produce 3000 to 5000 psi, and maybe more. With an accurate pressure gauge, you can multiply by the internal area of a hydraulic cylinder (such as an inexpensive "bottle jack") to determine the force produced. Your test bench could then consist of various clamps, pins, and jigs to hold the wheel in suitable positions so that you can press on it with your pump/cylinder rig. You can measure deflections of the wheel as forces are applied from different angles, up to the point where the wheel yields or even breaks.
