Obiedive
To introduce the basis of engineering design and the
fundamentals of engineering statics and strength of
materials.
Content
Introduction to engineering; historical perspective,
engineering systems, engineering method, modelling of
systems.
The design process; specification, modelling, analysis,
synthesis, prototype, roof testing, ~erformance, economy,
environmental impact.
Function and form of structural svstems. Loads on
structures, load paths. Forces, moment of a force,
concurrent and coplanar force systems, resultant and
equilibrant forces. Reactions; free body diagrams. Concepts
of equilibrium; general equations of equilibrium,
equilibrium equations for a two dimensional system.
Development of internal actions to maintain equilibrium;
axial force, shear force, bending moment and torsion.
Applications to static systems to find reactions and internal
actions.
Normal and tangential stress and strain, (definition).
Relationship between stress and strain; elastic moduli,
deformation. Axial stress/strain, direct shear stress and
strain, bearing stress. Poisson's ratio. Yield stress, ultimate
stress, proportional limit. Concept of allowable stress.
Applications .. to simple (single bolt) connections and fillet
welds.
Beam Behaviour; statically determinate beams and bents.
Shear force and bending moment diagrams. Stresses due to
Bending. Deflection of beams (formulae only).
Column Behaviour; short column - long column concept;
buckling as a phenomenon. Combined stresses, short
column only.
