Description
This module addresses the analytical aspects the behaviour of materials.
Mechanics analysis of the stresses induced in material under a variety of load types including direct loading, bending and torsion thought the study of complex stresses. The subject also analysis the strain, deformation, deflection and twisting which result. The subject will also loading required to cause failure under combined / complex loading.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Analyse stresses induced by bending moments and torque in beams and shafts
2.
Analyse stresses due to combined bending and torsion.
3.
Determine beam deflection for standard load cases
4.
Determine stresses in components using strain gauges.
5.
Determine factor of safety against failure under complex loading using failure theories
6.
Solve dynamic problems involving inertia, linear and angular displacement, velocity and acceleration.
