Semester | 1 and 2 (view timetable) |
Contact | 24 hours of lectures, 12 hours of tutorials and laboratory/project work |
Subject Description | 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 to determine failure loads and deflections of the complete structure. Understand the use of the finite element method and the techniques of experimental stress analysis. Topics covered include; engineering plasticity, 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. Fracture mechanics and fatigue |
Assessment | Laboratory/tutorial work, assignments and tests up to 20 pages equivalent. One examination not exceeding three-hours |
