Description
This module has been designed to give the student an appreciation into how stress affects materials in practical situations. It is assumed that the student will have successfully completed the 1st year mechanics course and so understands how to represent forces, vector quantities, and understands stress / strain relationships.
In this module the student will look at applied mechanics problems such as
- Stress in compound bars,
- Shear force, shear stress, and shear strain, Poisson's ratio
- Shear force and bending moment diagrams.
- Centrifugal forces and rotation.
- Torsion
- Thermal strain
- Hoop stress in thin walled pressure vessels and thin rotating rings.
This module is taught by a number of lecturers and includes many real life examples of how mechanics is used.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Define the terms "stress" and "strain" and determine the stress and strain that each material in a compound bar experiences
2.
Be able to explain what shear force, shear stress and shear strain mean, plus calculate the shear stress components experience is certain practical situations
3.
Construct a shear force and bending moment diagram for simply supported and cantilever beams, which are loaded with point loads or uniformly distributed loads.
4.
Be able to calculate shear stress, angle of twist, and torque in rotating shafts.
5.
Identify instances, effects and applications of thermal strain and calculate stresses resulting from changes in temperature
6.
Determine the centrifugal forces set up in different scenarios.
7.
Calculate the hoop stress set up in thin walled pressure vessels and in thin rotating rings.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
There will be 4 hours of lectures, where the theory will be covered and multiple examples demonstrated. Each week there will also be a tutorial based on the previous weeks lecture.
Module Assessment Strategies
The learning outcomes may be assessed by laboratory reports or assignments, plus assessments at various times during the semester 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, assignments covering the deficient areas of the course may be set.
