ECTS credit value: 10
Module code: MEC08418
Module leader: Gokula Vasantha
School School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment
Subject area group: Engineering and Mathematics
Prerequisites

Fundamental knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and units. Notes: [*] These modules, in particular, are likely to have limited spaces (due to popularity and restrictions on laboratory size and resources)
Description of module content:

• Force and stress systems (equilibrium, force and moments in bending, stress)
• Stress-strain in direct loading and torsion (stress-strain relationship, torsion of shafts)
• Stress due to bending of beams (pure bending and excentric loading)
• Deflection due to bending of beams (curvature, slope and deflection, various methods)
• 2D/3D Stress/Strain
• Mohr's Circle
• Pressure Vessels
Learning Outcomes for module:

On completion of the module you will be able to:
LO1: understand some of the more advanced principles of Mechanics
LO2: assess the advantages and limitations of models, equations and formulae
LO3: use the principles of Mechanics to solve engineering problems
