Stress Analysis 1 - MECH40005
Aims
This module introduces the basic concepts and methods of stress analysis. It explains the mathematical descriptions of stress analysis and demonstrates the physical significance of stress and strain and the importance and application of Hooke's Law.
We introduce the fundamental concepts of elasticity including Youngs Modulus and Poission ratio.
We use these descriptions to show how to solve a range of stress analysis problems including plane frames, stress and strain, pressure vessels and beams.
