Materials 2 - MECH50005
Aims
This module develops an understanding, securely based on materials science, of various common failure modes, the reasons for their occurrence and how we seek to avoid failure by design. This module provides the tools and understanding to predict component failures under multiaxial loading conditions due to yielding, fracture, fatigue and creep mechanisms and to identify these failure mechanisms in practice, and to design against them.

Fracture Mechanics B - MECH70005
Aims
Fracture mechanics concerns the design and analysis of structures which contain cracks or defects/flaws. Fracture mechanics answers questions such as: What is the largest sized crack that a structure can contain or the largest load the structure can bear for failure to be avoided? How long before a crack which was safe becomes unsafe? What material should be used in a certain application to ensure safety? This is a level 7 variant of the level 6 FFM module and students cannot take both for credit towards their final degree.

Aircraft Engine Technology - MECH70021
Aims
- The aim of this module is to get small groups designing, in outline, a jet engine for a civil airliner. The design will focus on the thermodynamics and aerodynamics, but a small part will be devoted to stress and vibration aspects to underpin the aerodynamic design choices.

Fracture Mechanics A - MECH60002
Aims
Fracture mechanics concerns the design and analysis of structures which contain cracks or defects/flaws. Fracture mechanics answers questions such as: What is the largest sized crack that a structure can contain or the largest load the structure can bear for failure to be avoided? How long before a crack which was safe becomes unsafe? What material should be used in a certain application to ensure safety? This is a level 6 version of the enhanced level 7 FFM module and students cannot take both for credit towards their final degree.
