Stress Analysis 2 - MECH50002
Aims
This course builds on the ME1 Stress Analysis Course by extending the concepts of linear elasticity to two and three dimensions, as the basis for advanced stress analysis.
Topics covered include complex stresses and strains, Mohr’s circle, failure criteria, shear stresses in beams, thick-walled cylinders, plastic failure and buckling of struts. The course should enable students to develop sufficient familiarity with stress analysis and strength of materials to design a safe and reliable load-bearing component of simple geometry (or to assess the safety of an existing one).

Dynamics - MECH50008
Aims
This module aims to enable students to master the essential basic topics in vibrations and dynamics. Vibration can be a key feature of an engineering system or a source of system failure and this module studies the free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom undamped and damped systems and an introduction to multi-degree-of-freedom systems. In dynamics topics include work-done-energy equation, general plane motion , impulse-linear momentum, angular impulse-angular momentum, impact, generalized angular impulse-angular momentum, simple gyroscopic motion.
