Course overview
This course aims to equip students with a thorough understanding of the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials under various types of loads. Building upon the concepts of static equilibrium in rigid body, students will delve into the essential principles of deformable bodies, such as stress, strain, deformation, torsion, shear, bending, and buckling, and will learn to apply these principles to analyse and design structural components in engineering applications. The course is designed to foster analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling students to effectively address real-world engineering challenges related to material strength and durability.
- Fundamentals Of Mechanical Behaviour
- Beam Theory And Applications
- Advanced Topics
Course learning outcomes
- Understand the concepts of stress and strain, and resultant failures in common structural elements
- Analyse deflection, resultant stresses, and strains in beam or columns under axial, torsion, flexural and shear loads
- Evaluate the failure under complex stress states in structural members subjected to combined loadings
- Apply problem-solving skills to solve complex real-world problems
- Work effectively with other students in small teams to produce design solutions and reports
