Paper Description
The paper covers stress and strain transformations, failure criteria, unsymmetrical bending, curved beam, transverse shear, fatigue, materials selection and materials testing. By the end of the course students will have the essential knowledge and skills needed in designing components and structures in most engineering situations.
All lectures will be on line. Students are given the opportunity to either join the face-to-face lecture discussions/tutorials/labs or work at home. Coming to the uni or working at home is however, the student’s decision.
Due to COVID-19, there are ongoing changes to the timetable. Moodle Announcements will be used to inform of any timetable changes.
Paper Structure
There are two major areas in the paper: Mechanics of Materials and Performance of Materials.
Topics in Mechanics of materials are taught through on-line lectures, tutorials and labs.
Tutorials are scheduled for those who want to return to face-to-face learning. These tutorials will be recorded and will be uploaded onto Moodle for those who opt for working at home.
Solidworks is used for the lab sessions. Students should have access to this software (links will be available). Similar to the tutorials, labs are scheduled for the students attending face-to-face session. Videos will be available on Moodle for those who opt for working at home.
Topics in Performance of Materials are primarily taught through face-to-face 'Lecture Discussions' on the Hamilton campus (which are replacing Lectures & Tutorials, as a combination of both), online content, and practical labs.
Where practical, in-person participation in the on-campus activities (Lecture Discussions and Laboratories) is strongly encouraged.
Online content and online versions of activities (such as video recordings) will be made available for those not attending on-campus.
Note: due to the impact of COVID-19, the lectures content will be delivered through flipped learning and blended teaching. This means that students need to read the lecture notes provided and view the recording available prior to any official lecture/tutorial/review.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
This paper facilitates development of technical writing and/or oral presentations, an important competency expectation of engineers and scientists. To pass this paper, students are expected to demonstrate their ability to produce written work of an adequate standard.
The assessment of this paper comprises two assignments, three lab reports and five tests. There is NO final examination.
All tests are compulsory. Students must submit an "Extension of Deadline/Special Consideration form" if they cannot attend these tests. Otherwise, these tests will be considered as "Failing to complete" and results in an IC grade.
The tests are open book and all questions should be attempted.Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
