4 points * 24 lecture hours, 24 tutorial/laboratory hours * First semester * Caulfield * Prerequisites: MEE3332
Objectives The student is expected to acquire an insight into the solution of a range of problems using elasticity equations and finite element techniques.
Synopsis Analysis of stress and strain. Equations of equilibrium and compatibility in two and three dimensions, stress distribution in beams, compound thick cylinders, rotating discs, experimental techniques (strain gauges). Introduction to plasticity, plastic bending. Plastic deformation of thick cylinders. Introduction to matrix structural analysis and the finite element techniques of stress analysis. Introduction to fracture mechanics.
Assessment Examination (3 hours): 70% * Practical work/Laboratory work: 30%
