MEC3455 - Solid Mechanics6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSLUndergraduate Faculty of EngineeringLeader: W K ChiuOffered
Clayton Second semester 2008 (Day) SynopsisThis unit aims to develop an understanding of the analytical methodologies used in strength and stiffness assessment of engineering structures and components. It allows students to translate real-world forces into abstract form for engineering modelling of a range of common problems found in industry and gain knowledge of the relationship between analysis and design. Students will be exposed to a wide range of analytical tools and modeling philosophies. Objectives
Understanding of the relevance of strength and stiffness aspects of engineering structures and components. Assessment
