SMJP2133-01 APPLIED SOLID MECHANICS (APPLIED SOLID MECHANICS)
The course is an extension to Solid Mechanics. It aims to extend the student’s knowledge and understanding of the behaviour of materials and structures under a variety of loading conditions. The course covers the plane stress and plane strain transformations, following which several elastic failure criteria are investigated. The students are expected to be able to investigate thick cylinders, structural deformation behaviour using the energy method. This includes the instability problems of struts and elasto-plastic bending of beams. Determinate and indeterminate problems will also be examined. At the end of the course, students should be able to calculate and evaluate stress, strain and deformation of structures in normal loading, torsion and bending. They should also be able to evaluate failure modes and estimate fracture life of structures and components. The aspect of designing safe components and structures will also be emphasized to the students.
