Competency aims
The aim of the course is to develop the student's abilities in the design and analysis of engineering components. In particular stress, transverse shear, stress transformations and deflection will be covered. This includes a deeper understanding of the field of Mechanics of Materials.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
Calculate stresses in members due to shear
Design beams and shafts under combined loading conditions
Perform stress transformation calculations
Apply theories of failure to the loading of different materials
Calculate the deflection of beams
To be able to use COMSOL beam module for the analysis of beams.
Perform a laboratory bending test according to SFS-EN ISO 178
