436-307 Stress Analysis for Engineering Design

Credit Points:

7.1

Coordinator:

Assoc. Professor J. F. Williams

Prerequisite/s:

436-302 Mechanics of Rigid and Deformable Bodies and 421-303 Mathematics for Engineers Unit 3.1

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

26 hours of lectures, 13 hours of tutorials and laboratory/project work

Objectives:

On completion students should be able to model a variety of mechanical engineering structures as a number of elementary components and stress analyse each component so as to determine failure loads and deflections of the complete structure. An understanding of the use of the finite element methods and the techniques of experimental stress analysis will also be acquired.

Content:

Two dimensional stress and strain analysis. Design of pressure vessels and pipes, thick walled cylinders, shrink fitting, duplex pressure vessels, inelastic deformation, residual stresses. Membrane theory of shells of revolution, yielding, rotating shells, local bending stresses. Stress analysis of rotating discs, with and without holes, shrink fitting, initial and ultimate yielding. Structural modelling and analysis, introduction to the finite element method, experimental stress analysis, Australian Standards.

Assessment:

Laboratory/tutorial work, assignments and tests up to 20 pages equivalent. A two-hour examination.
