Overview
This unit provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge in solid mechanics to confidently analyse and design engineering components and structures with particular reference to the aerospace industry. Each part of the unit contrasts theory and practical application in order to impart a practical appreciation of the knowledge gained. The role of approximate methods of analysis and their interaction with practical situations is highlighted. Constant use is made of real-life problems from the aerospace industry

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Analyse the behaviour of structures under mechanical loads via free body diagrams.
- 2
Apply stress-strain relations in conjunction with elasticity and material properties.
- 3
Determine the mechanical stresses and structural deformations that arise within a body under applied loads.
- 4
Appraise complex solid mechanics problems and use knowledge and skills to develop simplified models and generate accurate solutions.
- 5
Apply structural analysis theory to predict performance and reliability of structures under a combination of different loadings.
Workload and teaching
