421-208 Mechanics of Solids
Credit Points	12.5
Coordinator	Dr H Goldsworthy
Prerequisites	421-103 Engineering Statics
Semester	1 (view timetable)
Contact	Thirty-three hours of lectures, twelve hours of practice classes and six hours of laboratory classes
Subject Description	Topics covered in this subject build on the basic knowledge obtained in statics, and are organised into 3 components: structural analysis; analysis of sectional behavior when subjected to a bending moment, axial force, shear force or torque; and buckling of elements.
Generic Skills	be able to clearly define the fundamental terms used in Mechanics of Solids have the ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals view the obtained solutions as models with certain inbuilt assumptions and hence limitations be ablve to critically compare results obtained from experimental studies with theoretically predicted values
Assessment	One 3-hour written end of semesster examination (75%) and practice classes and laboratory work (25%).
