Competency aims

-To give students the understanding and skills to design and analyze engineering components and structures.

Learning outcomes

-To calculate engineering stresses due to normal loads, shear loads, bending and torsion acting on engineering components.
-Define the size and material for given engineering components under the application of loads.
-To use FEA COMSOL software in the design of members.

Course contents

Introduction
Stress
Strain
Mechanical Properties of Materials
Axial Load
COMSOL FEA software
Torsion
Bending

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Mathematics minimum 10 ECTS completed.
Mechanics [PT-1-014]

It is not recommended for any student to attempt this course without first studying Mechanics. The course is thus recommended for 2nd year students.

Previous course names

Strength of Materials

Additional information

Although the attendance of weekly lectures is recommended, it is not compulsory. For most effective learning, it is recommended that students work on tutorials and example problems on a weekly basis. This will develop independent problem solving skills.

COMSOL software from lab.arcada.fi

All deadlines dates must be meet for assignments. There is no late submission of assignments.

Recommended or required reading

It is highly recommended to purchase the textbook "Mechanics of Materials" , Hibbeler, 10th Edition in SI units. The weekly lectures are directly based on the chapters from this book. The text is also used in the Mechanics of Materials 2 course. The text is available from the book shop in kauppakeskus Arabia.

  • Of which scheduled studies: 0 hours

Mode of Delivery

Multiform education

Assessment methods

  • Exams (written-, oral-, home-)
  • Essays, reports, productions and portfolio

Assessment requirements

10% Assignment 1 (compulsory)
10% COMSOL tutorial (optional)
80% Final Exam/ Re-Exam (closed book, formula sheet provided).

Students who do not complete Assignment 1 by the deadline will be removed from the course. A pass mark in the final exam/re-exam of at least 40/80 and a total mark of at least 50/100 in total is required to pass the course. Previous years assignments are not valid for students retaking course.

GRADING.
50-59 Grade 1 Satisfactory
60-69 Grade 2 Satisfactory
70-79 Grade 3 Good
80-89 Grade 4 Good
90-100 Grade 5 Excellent

Re-exam 1 gives all students an opportunity to improve their grade whether they sat the normal final exam or not. Non attendance of a re-exam is counted as one opportunity. Re-exam 2 is only for students who did not pass the first normal exam.
