Module Overview

This module consists of two parts: Stress Analysis and Dynamics.

Prerequisites/Co-requisites
Completion of the progress requirements of Level HE1 Module ENG1008 Statics & Dynamics and Level HE2 Module ENG2026 Mechanics of solids 2A.
Module Aims

 To develop an understanding of:

 

 

·           The strain energy methods and their applications in structural analysis.

·           Failure of structures through plastic deformation and buckling.

·           The motion of linkages and mechanisms with and without reference to forces and masses.

·           Balancing of rotating masses and reciprocating engines.

  • Analytical solution of vibrating structures with two degrees of freedom.

 

 
Learning Outcomes

 

Upon successful completion of the module, you will  be able to:

 

·         Apply strain energy methods to calculate displacements in beams and trusses and solve statically indeterminate problems.

 

·         Calculate critical elastic buckling loads for columns.

 

·         Calculate limit loads for beams.

 

·         Analyse kinematics and kinetics of linkages and mechanisms.

 

·         Analyse forces and moments in machine elements.

 

·         Calculate natural frequencies and normal modes of two degrees of freedom vibrating systems.
