Module Aims
|
To make the students fully familiar with elastic and plastic deformation of materials including fracture and failure modes and mechanisms. To enable student to analyse more complex structures then those considered in prerequisite module, to consider plasticity in greater depth and to enable them apply energy based analysis methods.
|
Learning Outcomes
|
Having successfully completed this module the student will:
1. Be aware of failure from crack growth, corrosion, fatigue and creep deformation, and methods of analysis.
2. Be able to carry out calculations relevant to real struts, and to apply stress/ strain theory to shell and plate structures
3. Be able to derive and apply energy methods and Castigliano's theorems to the solution of simple structural problems;
4. Understand the behaviour of materials in plasticity regime
5. Be able to carry out calculations for particular structural elements under complex loading, in the plastic regime.
