ABSTRACT
The process involved in the design and fabrication of a creep material testing equipment ranges from carrying out the feasibility studies of the project to the designed and especially of ensuring its functionality. Since it is used in the testing of failure of material under loading, different engineering principles employed in the design and fabrication includes bending moments and deflection of beam etc. the main objective of this project is to design a mechanical structure that can test the failure of substance hence creep s defined as the failure of substance under continuous loading. It also involves the cutting of the specimen that will be used to conducting the test. After the completion of the different components of the machine, it is assembled and a test turn conducted.
As a result, it was finally observed that creep material testing equipment is used in determining the failure of material under continual loading.
