Overview

This unit involves the study of various loadings (axial force, moment, shear force, toque) as well as the resulting stresses and strains that occur in engineering structures. It builds on aspects taught in the level 1 unit, ENG1011. Topics covered include bending moment diagrams of determinate and indeterminate beam and … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.

Analyse structural behaviour (calculating reactions and bending moment diagrams and deflected shapes) of simple determinate and indeterminate beam and frame systems using qualitative and quantitative methods.

2.

Identify and determine elastic normal stresses, shearing stresses and shear flow in simple structures as a result of external (including thermal) loading producing internal actions of axial force, bending, torsion and shear.

3.

Determine the partial plastic and fully plastic section moment capacities of both symmetrical and asymmetrical steel sections.

4.

Determine deflections in linearly elastic determinate systems.

5.

Determine stresses and strains (and their relationship) in two dimensions utilising the concepts of principal stress and Mohr's circle, and select and use appropriate failure theories for engineering materials.

6.

Formulate technical reports and communicate effectively in team assignments, interpreting and analysing experimental data, utilising basic analysis software packages and relating results to the theory taught.

Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 50%

Final assessment: 50%

This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
