ENGN2217 — Mechanical Systems and Design

code: ENGN2217
name: Mechanical Systems and Design
unit value: 6
description: This course covers the elements of mechanics of materials, experimental mechanics and design of space frames using commercial Finite Element Software. Topics covered include equilibrium of deformable body, Concepts of stress and strain, Mechanical properties of materials, Axial loading, thermal stress, Torsional loading, Bending behaviour, stress concentrations, Transverse shear loading, combined loadings, stress transformation, deflection of beams and shafts, statically indeterminate problems and buckling of columns. Experimental Mechanics laboratories include usage of strain gauges and photo-elastic stress measurements.
