Description
  • The student will determine stress in materials used in compound bars. 
  • The student will perform calcualtions involving shear stress, shear strain, and poisson's ratio.
  • The student will draw shear force and bending moment diagrams.
  • The student will calculate stress in thin walled pressure vessels, and thin rotating rings.
  • The student will make calculations involving torsion.
  • The student will do calculations involving thermal strain..

 

This module is jointly taught by a number of lecturers and includes many examples of how mechanics is used in real life situations

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Calculate stresses in each material of a compound bar.

2.

Be able to manipulate and perform calculations involving shear stress, shear strain, and poisson's ratio.

3.

Perform calculations invollving stress in thin walled pressure vessels and thin rotating rings.

4.

Be able to manipulate the formula involving torsion to determine safe loads.  

5.

Be able to determine and draw bending moment and shear force diagrams for various beams.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be taught online using conference software plus each week an online assessment will be completed.

Module Assessment Strategies

The learning outcomes will be assessed by a weekly online assessment plus an end of semester examination.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat assessment will be by way of sitting another examination on the subject. Alternatively, at the discretion of the lecturer, assignemnts covering the deficient areas of the course may be set.
