Applied Solid Mechanics

Module code: EMS505U

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM1

Contact: Prof Vassili Toropov

This module considers stresses and strains in components and how components may be designed to prevent failure. It considers plane and full 3-D stress and strain conditions, using matrix notation to describe these conditions and the failure criteria that may be applied to these systems. It also considers complex bending conditions in asymmetric and composite beams and the stability of struts. Examples will be drawn from applications in aerospace, mechanical and biomedical engineering
