Learning outcomes
Describe the strength and stiffness aspects of engineering structures and components.
Apply a range of modelling tools and analytical methodologies and develop confidence in evaluating new engineering problems and formulating original solutions.
Apply the principles of solid mechanics in engineering analysis and design.
Determine elastic and inelastic stresses, deflections in simple and compound beams, pressure vessels and flat plates.
Apply the concept of loads and load paths, calculate shear stresses in thin-walled sections and predict stress and strains in non-circular cross-sections members under torsional loading.
Generate finite element analysis of solid mechanics problems and identify factors influencing the accuracy of results.
Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 40%
Final assessment: 60%
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.
