Description of module content:

This module provides advanced concepts on Mechanics to learn in mechanical engineering. The applications of the below-mentioned topics are widely applicable in mechanical designs.
• 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)
• 2D/3D Stress/Strain
• Mohr's Circle
• Pressure Vessels
Learning Outcomes for module:
