ENAM12002 Mechanical Analysis

Course details

This course introduces students to key concepts and principles of mechanical analysis. They explain how engineering structures and components carry and transmit loads, and analyse and determine properties of sections, forces in structures and assemblies, stress and strain in members and components, deflections, stresses in circular shafts, principle stresses and buckling of columns. Students analyse mechanical failures, determine fatigue life of components, and explain common assumptions made in analysis, their consequences and validity. Students are required to show they work productively, both individually and collaboratively, to solve problems, and document and communicate their work clearly in a professional manner.
