SOLID MECHANICS LABORATORY
The Solid Mechanics Laboratory is an essential facility dedicated to conducting experimental research and providing technical expertise in the field of solid mechanics. From testing the strength of steel specimens to analyzing the behavior of different structures under load, this laboratory serves as a hub for hands-on learning and innovation. The laboratory provides students with the opportunity to explore the basic properties of structural materials and the behavior of simple structural elements and systems through a series of practical experiments
