Elastic stress analysis
R H Grzebieta
3 points * 20 lectures, 6 tutorials, 6 laboratory sessions *Second semester * Clayton *Prerequisites: CIV2221 or CIV2230
Revision of elasticity equations (plane stress, plain strain and axisymmetry) and stress at a point; torsion of prismatic and thin-walled bars; combined (superimposed) bending, shear and torsional stresses in shallow, deep and curved beams; experimental stress analysis (strain gauge technology, photoelasticity and surface crack identification); introduction to the finite element method; plane stress in membrane loaded plates; laterally loaded plates; revision of yield criteria and introductory fracture mechanics; case histories of stress failures.
Assessment
Examination: (2 hours): 60% * Laboratory and assignment work (tutorial problems 10%, combined stress assignment 10%, plane stress assignment 10%, laterally loaded plate assignment 10%): 40%
