Development of a Portable Universal Testing Machine for Investigating the Mechanical Properties of Medium-Strength Materials

The tensile test is reliable for revealing the fundamental stress-strain relationship. However, researchers have challenges when applying sufficient equipment to comprehend and assess characteristics of low-to-medium-strength materials. This study describes design construction a portable universal testing machine (UTM) investigating mechanical medium-strength components this include two stepper motors, load cell, cell amplifier, linear potentiometer, data acquisition system. capability component designed 10 kN with maximum stroke 150 mm vertical motion. Samples jute glass fiber composites were tested at room temperature on machine. generated results compared those obtained from commercial UTM validate developed values that measured are quite similar acquired measurements taken by conclusion simple, portable, reliable, might be constructed cheaply
