Educational Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce students to fundamental concepts and principles of solid mechanics and dynamics, and their applications to mechanical engineering systems.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1 - Comprehend the fundamental concepts of solid mechanics and dynamics – AHEP4: M1, M13; EAC: PO1
LO2 - Apply these concepts to simplified engineering scenarios – AHEP4: M1, M13 ; EAC: PO1
LO3 - Recognise and construct an appropriate analysis technique to apply when presented with a simple engineering scenario in a solid mechanics context – AHEP4: M2 ; EAC: PO2
LO4 - Analyse the manner in which structures support loads, and in which machines move and are powered by applying an understanding of basic statics, dynamics and mechanical drives – AHEP4: M2, M4; EAC: PO2, PO4
LO5 - Clearly report analysis of data and engineering calculations using an appropriate level of explanation showing evidence of judgement in selecting analysis techniques and critical assessment of results - AHEP4: M4,M12; EAC: PO4
