Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

At the completion of this course it is desired that each student be able to:

1.       Develop an understanding on the  use  the material data obtained from standard mechanical testing methods for structural design applications

2.       Analyse the structural response behaviour by breaking the response of structure into axial, bending and torsional deformation modes

3.       Design simple connections for use in structural mechanics

4.       Develop an understanding of stress concentrations in structures

5.       Analyse thermal behaviour of structural members

6.       Develop a knowledge  of combined loading behaviour in structural systems

7.       Design and optimize the design of  three dimensional frame structures using finite element analysis

8.       Develop an understanding of experimental mechanics techniques through the use of strain gage measurements and photo elastic  experiments
