Testing organization and realization methodology of constructional elements

Testing methodology of construction materials is considered to define the main physical and mechanical characteristics of materials used in strength and longevity calculations as well as in expert assessment of their technical state. Classification of testing has been carried out according to working conditions, load modes, strain and deformation state, etc. An up-to-date, virtual and operating via a software support complex of the laboratory experimental device designed for the laboratory works of the "Strength of Materials" course is discussed which automatically records and processes of the obtained data as well compares it with respective reference data characteristics.
