Correlation Between Ductility Test Done By Traditional Method And By Newly Developed Low Cost Micro-Utm On Bitumen Using Poker Chip Geometry

Abstract

Universal testing machine is one among the foremost familiar testing machines within the world of engineering. It’s very useful to live the tensile and compressive strength of materials. It’s a mixture of recent electronic and mechanical transmission technology. Main purpose of this work is to develop a feasible low cost scale down UTM machine which will perform the same tests and also correlate the results with the traditional ductility test. The main purpose is to determine the tensile cracking of bitumen. The tensile properties of bitumen can enormously influence the execution of the bitumen mixture beneath rehashed activity stacking. Furthermore, ageing makes bitumen stiffer and brittle resulting in its susceptibility of thermal cracking. From the very beginning of design and selecting material to make this machine working, In every step accuracy is the one thing we didn’t compromised with. Finally the data found from the machine is being plotted in excel and also being related with the data found from ductility test also.
