Summary
Summary of Content: Analysis methods applicable to engineering design including:
• combined loading
• yield criteria
• elastic-plastic deformations
• deflection of beams

Educational Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce more advanced topics in linear elastic solid mechanics, plasticity and failure, introduce relevant analysis methods for material behaviour and demonstrate the application of these methods to the design of engineering components.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1: Explain how engineering components of varying geometry deform/fail and, where required, explain the relationships between applied loads and the resulting stresses and strains when subjected to a range of loading types (knowledge and comprehension). – AHEP4: M1; EAC: PO1
LO2: Describe and explain the fundamentals of elastic and plastic material response and how this can lead to deformation and failure in engineering components (knowledge and comprehension). – AHEP4: M2; EAC: PO2
LO3: Apply methods of engineering analysis based on the above concepts and predict deformation and failure in various engineering scenarios (comprehension, application, analysis) – AHEP4: M2, M3; EAC: PO2, PO5
LO4: Recognise and construct an appropriate analysis technique to apply when presented with an engineering scenario in a solid mechanics context (comprehension, application, analysis)– AHEP4: M5, M13; EAC: PO3
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 (comprehension, application, synthesis and evaluation) -AHEP4: M12, M17; EAC: PO9
