ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project was to compare the virtual method of Testing and the
Physical method of Testing. In order to achieve this method of surveying was adopted and a
research was conducted in various industries. On the basis of the data collected some
components being used in the industries were selected the virtual testing models were
made for those components.
While building the models the simulation conditions were made as per the physical
conditions in the industries.
The test results obtained from both the methods of testing were recorded and presented in a
tabular form. The failure stress value and the probability of failure of the product were
obtained using certain statistical tools. Thus the difference between values revealed why in
certain industries physical testing was preferred over virtual testing. The cost tradeoff
analysis was performed at the end to understand the scopes of further penetration of virtual
testing in today’s world.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1Background/problem definition
There have been number of instances in the various industries since the time the industrial
revolution has taken place. As we know there has always been an evolutionary process
going contemporary to the development of each and every product with the time and so.
Even the invention of wheel was not done as it appears to be today. The first ever wheel
invented by the humans could have been totally different in shape and size from what we
assume the current structure of the wheel. Similarly the invention of engine which actually
revolutionized the world of machines passed through the same stairs of the evolution. Any
product that we come across in our life and is artificially prepared by human beings in order
to make their life more comfortable has the same story way more or less.
As the products follow the path of evolution with the change in the time and date, the
methods and the processes used to obtain the products have also changed manifolds since
the time the first prototype of any product was made. The method to prepare the fruit juice
today might differ significantly from what it was when the juice was first served to any human
being. The method of preparing a baseball bat is not the same as it was in the ancient times
when the hand tools were used to file and prepare those bats.
Similarly, we have come across one more problem. The point is to check whether the
Physical testing or the virtual testing in the various types of industries pays the better
results. We have to go through the various the surveys done in the different types of the
selected industries which will give us the real time data how those industries are using the
virtual testing and the physical testing depending upon their scopes. Virtual testing is just a
computerized version of the Physical tests done on the various products. For example crash
test done in the automobile industries can be done virtually in the software which have the
results up to some good extent of accuracy. Thus, we have changed the number of the
Physical tests done because there have been certain instances where the results obtained
by the virtual testing have suggested us the parameters to be changed and get the results
quite similar to the expected ones.
1.2Aims and objectives
The aim of this project is to achieve difference between virtual testing and physical testing in
different types of industries. More of industries adopt virtual testing and some of physical
testing. And some adopt both testing for accurate results.
In this project the first objective is to mention the process of virtual and physical testing from
different industry experience. To achieve the process of virtual and physical testing, we will
mention case study of testing process of Four different industries such as Toy Making
industry, Hand Tool Making Industry, Instrumentation Industry and the PCB Fabricating
Industry.

Industry.
Second objective of our project is to demonstrate a case study of virtual testing where
physical testing used more than virtual testing. In steel industry physical testing are more
preferred compared to virtual testing. In steel industry, firstly making a prototype of project
then test (mechanical, chemical and electrical) all parts of project.
Third objective will conduct a comparison of benefits and limitations for both tests in
designing industry. In conclusion, I will summarize about how companies involved in virtual
method in education like training staff on simulation software to get new specifications of a
product or gain or ability to understand processes.
1.3Methodology
It is very difficult for industries to choose between virtual and physical testing for starting any
project because the selection of virtual and physical prototyping depends upon cost and
time. For virtual prototyping, Industries uses cad software (AutoCAD, Solid works) for
making 3d cad model of project and afterwards it is simulated by simulation software like as
Ansys and Simscale etc.
For physical testing, Industries make a prototype of a project without using any computer
aided designing software. After making the prototype they analyze the mechanical testing
with mechanical instruments such as tensile and compression testing of material with
Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and other testing such as chemical , electrical are
analyzed with their instruments.
Here we will be using the certain examples from the selected industries and will compare
the results obtained from both the Virtual testing and the Physical testing/theoretical testing.
The software that will be used to models the specified component will be Solidworks.
To achieve this goal, I adopt more methodology for both physical and virtual testing and thus
provide an example of my observation in the industry.
Methodology for physical testing in steel industry,
Hardness Test in steel industries,
Hardness is the property of the material which is obtained by putting force on an indenter on
to the surface. The obtained crushing as well the deflection of steel is both elastic and
plastic. Hardness no. is related to ratio of applied load to the surface area of indenter.
The various methods used for hardness testing of any product depend upon its size and
dimensions. For instance- BHN (brinell hardness no.) is obtained by applying load on
spherical area of indenter.
physical testing used more than virtual testing. In steel industry physical testing are more
preferred compared to virtual testing. In steel industry, firstly making a prototype of project
then test (mechanical, chemical and electrical) all parts of project.
Third objective will conduct a comparison of benefits and limitations for both tests in
designing industry. In conclusion, I will summarize about how companies involved in virtual
method in education like training staff on simulation software to get new specifications of a
product or gain or ability to understand processes.
1.3Methodology
It is very difficult for industries to choose between virtual and physical testing for starting any
project because the selection of virtual and physical prototyping depends upon cost and
time. For virtual prototyping, Industries uses cad software (AutoCAD, Solid works) for
making 3d cad model of project and afterwards it is simulated by simulation software like as
Ansys and Simscale etc.
For physical testing, Industries make a prototype of a project without using any computer
aided designing software. After making the prototype they analyze the mechanical testing
with mechanical instruments such as tensile and compression testing of material with
Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and other testing such as chemical , electrical are
analyzed with their instruments.

the results obtained from both the Virtual testing and the Physical testing/theoretical testing.
