Note | For 1999 only, the content of Unit 2, Engineering Materials will be varied to take account of the preparation of students who have not taken 436-101Engineering Mechanics and Materials previously. |
Credit Points | 12.5 |
Coordinator | Dr C.R Burvill & Mr G.J Pratt |
Prerequisites | Students should be familiar with material covered in 436-101 Engineering Mechanics and Materials, 436-105 Engineering Communications and 100 level Mathematics |
Semester | 1 (view timetable) |
Contact | 24 hours of lectures and 24 hours of tutorials, guided design exercises and laboratory work |
Subject Description | Unit 1, Engineering Design: Students should gain skill in designing simple engineering components for the structural integrity of environmental systems, be confident with practical work formulated in a graded progression from well delineated problems to dealing with complex and/or vaguely defined design tasks in environmental areas. Topics include: failure modes for engineering systems, failure predictors for engineering components under multi-axial stress conditions; rational assessment of safety factors and maximum credible accident; integrity of structures and machines, design against failure. Modelling of complex load-bearing systems in terms of simple engineering components; design of elements of structures and machines from first principles; design to resist fatigue, axial tension and compression, combined torsion and bending and internal pressure (only common metallic materials are considered); design of bolted and welded joints; approaches to uncertainty in design problems, particularly those related to the environment. Unit 2, Engineering Materials: Students should develop further understanding of materials, aided by laboratory exercises based on topics covered in 436-101. Topics covered include: dislocations and their relevance to plastic flow; particulate and fibre-reinforced composite materials; recovery, recrystallization and grain growth in metals; creep; static and dynamic fatigue; friction and wear. Assessment: Assignments and laboratory and technical reports not exceeding 50 pages equivalent; participation in oral presentations and seminars; one examination not exceeding three-hours. |
