1. First Year Engineering, Faculty of Engineering (v4, p84) : Next:421-104 | Prev:421-101
Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Mr. J. R. Styles
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials
Timetable: First and Second semester
Objectives:
Students successfully completing this unit will:
- recognise the way in which simple systems resist forces and moments to which they are subjected
- be able to simplify a complex force/stress analysis problem down to one that can be analysed
- express the physical problem in a mathematical or graphical form
- understand the significance of the solution to the problem of any assumptions made
Content:
Force systems: resolution of forces; moments of a force; couples; moments of distributed forces. Equilibrium, support systems. Shear force, bending moments in beams. Forces in pin-connected trusses. Equilibrium concepts via virtual work concepts. Stress, strain, elasticity in one and two dimensions. Stress transformation. Stress and deflection due to bending and torsion. Indeterminate systems.
Assessment:
A two-hour end-of-semester examination.
