Mechanics of Materials 3

Overview

This module covers analysis of common structural elements found in mechanical engineering products. Including; plates subject to bending (circular and rectangular), pressurised cylinders undergoing elastic and plastic deformation, and rotating discs. Key relationships will be developed from first principles and demonstrated on real world examples.

Learning Objectives

Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering

Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles

Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed
