Description
This module is designed to give students an understanding of how stress affects materials in practical situations. Students will study the behaviour of mechanical components under various loads and materials. They will be able to assess design criteria and analyse system failures.
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. Use Poisson's ratio to determine solutions.
3.
Be able to calculate shear stress, angle of twist, and torque in rotating shafts including composite shafts.
4.
Identify instances, effects and applications of thermal strain and calculate stresses resulting from changes in temperature when there are restrictions to movement.
5.
Calculate the hoop stress set up in thin walled pressure vessels and in thin rotating rings.
6.
Mathematical and graphical solution of complex stress problems. Principal stresses, pure shear, 3d stresses: problems involving direct, bending and shear stress.
7.
Determine factor of safety against failure under complex loading using failure theories
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 or practical demonstration 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
Indicative Syllabus
Compound bars: determine the stress in each material when a column is made from two different materials.
Shear stress: shear force, shear stress Poisson's ratio for simple and composite shafts.
Torsion, Torque/shear stress/angle of twist relationship, torsion of not circular section, indeterminate torsion (shafts in series and parallel), combined bending and torsion. Equivalent bending moment / torque.
Hoop stress: calculate the stress induced in thin walled pressure vessels and in thin rotating rings.
Thermal strain: determine the stress induced when there is change in temperature and there are restrictions to movement.
Complex stresses: Mathematical and graphical solution of complex stress problems. Principal stresses, pure shear, 3d stresses: problems involving direct, bending and shear stress.
Failure theories. Max. Shear stress (tresca), Max. shear strain energy (Von Misses), stress concentrations
