Desarrollo de un laboratorio virtual para ensayos mecánicos en el área de resistencia de materiales (Etapa 1)

Abstract

Abstract: Laboratory practices are important to develop theoretical and practical knowledge in civil engineering students, due to the pandemic the practices have not developed normally. Given this, virtual laboratories are positioned as a good alternative, which is why the present work aims to develop a virtual laboratory for mechanical tests in the area of resistance of materials, which in its first stage includes simple compression and traction testing. indirect concrete. For this, information on the materials resistance laboratory of the Particular Technical University of Loja has been compiled, the laboratory facilities have been modeled and a program has been created that allows the integration of the designed elements. As a result, there is a virtual laboratory that allows the user to make tours of the different areas of a conventional laboratory, having as its central axis the representation of simple compression and indirect traction tests. In the future, this software will serve as a complementary tool for engineering students when they carry out their laboratory practices.
