Finite element analysis in T-Joint pipe for brass and PVC

Material measurement test is important to be assessed as it determined stress distributions within the specimen that subjected to the well define loads. Photoelastics stress analysis and finite element analyses are the method that carried out in this project to test and analyze the strength of the specimen. Photoelastics technique is involved with optical principle method that is applied to the investigation of the physical properties of the material by using polariscope. Finite element analysis method is known as numerical method used for analyzing structures which are usually too complicated to be solved through standard analytical techniques. In this project, both of these methods are employed to analyze the distribution of stress of t-joint pipe for brass and PVC (Polyvinyl chloride). Then, the analyzing data is collected and graph is plotted. Further discussion of the result analysis is engaged followed by comparison of the mechanical properties of the chosen materials
