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

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
