| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with the ability to analyse and interpret the static and dynamic structural behaviour of engineering system components. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Evaluate the natural frequencies and mode shapes of linear and rotational vibrational systems having two, three and more degrees of freedom (of vibration isolators and absorbers, rotational machinery, gear shaft systems and shafts). |
| 2 | Apply dynamic theory and analytical approach to problems related to the vibration of mechanical systems. |
| 3 | Analyse the behaviour of structural elements such as struts, cylinders, plates and rotating components. |
| 4 | Apply static load theory for standard cases in stress concentration and fatigue. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Dynamics of engineering systems of two and more degrees of freedom; vibrational analysis of engineering components; basic numerical methods for dynamic analysis; Rayleigh's energy method; the mechanics of engineering materials in common components such as struts, cylinders, plates and rotating components; effects of stress concentrations; fatigue analysis and life predictions of components. |
