Overview
By attending this course, you’ll develop an advanced knowledge related to the constitutive laws governing the behaviour of materials subject to deformation due to various types of loading.
You’ll develop the ability to interpret how and why material fails based on technical argument of the theories of material failure, and the skills to interrelate the results.
Outcomes
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- comprehensively explain engineering principles associated with the mechanical behaviour of various construction materials
- produce computer based models to systematically assess the mechanical behaviour of various construction materials used in structural engineering (and be aware of their limitations)
- appraise the design process as it is affected by the mechanical behaviour of various construction materials, and adapt techniques and apply solutions to a wide range of applications.
Programme Structure
This course will include:- the mechanical properties of materials (modulus of elasticity, shear modulus, bulk modulus etc)
- stress-strain relationships (linear elastic, nonlinear elastic, elasto-plastic and visco-elastic)
- unsymmetrical bending of non-standard sections
- torsional stresses of non-circular and thin-walled sections, and the effect of warping, elastic membrane (soap film) analogy and plastic (sand hill) analogy
- complex stress and strain analysis, plane stress, plane strain and xisymmetric analysis of solid bodies
- theories of material failure, including Tresca, Von Meises and MohrColomb
- experimental stress-strain analysis
