Course overview
Equip students with knowledge and skills to support design and manufacturing procedures, develop effective maintenance strategies and guide failure investigations, which are all achieved by introducing appropriate assumptions and simplifications, establishing, validating and analysing a mathematical model of mechanical behaviour and failure of structural component.
- Fundamentals of Solid Mechanics
- Plane problems of linear elasticity
- Introduction to plasticity, fracture and fatigue
Course learning outcomes
- Use the fundamental concepts, principles and governing equations of Solid Mechanics, Theories of Elasticity and Plasticity, Fracture and Fatigue.
- Simplify real problem to establish its representative mathematical model.
- Appy analytical, numerical and experimental methods to validate and analyse the mathematical model of the actual structural component subjected to various loading conditions.
- Apply knowledge and skills to support design and fabrication of engineering components, development of effective maintenance strategies and guide failure investigations.
- Interpret and communicate the outcomes of theoretical analyses and experimental studies in industrial settings.
