There are various types of fixtures and they are usually classified according to the machine for which they were designed such as milling fixtures, drilling fixtures and fixtures for bolts and nuts testing. In this project, the type of fixture that is required to be designed and fabricated is the fixture for bolts and nuts testing. This project is divided into two parts. The first part is the designing process and the second part is the fabrication process. Designing process involves the development of preliminary ideas, selection of materials, calculations and mechanical analysis. Meanwhile, the fabrication process involves cutting, facing, drilling, welding, assembling and painting the product. A set of fixtures for gripping bolts and studs during tensile tests have been designed and fabricated in this project. The fixtures are suitable to be attached to the existing machines in the Materials Testing Centre (MTC) of Institut Teknologi Brunei and can be used for standard tests as well as experimental research work; Includes bibliography references ER -
