Semester two aims to extend earlier work in solid mechanics
and provide the foundation for later studies in the elastic and
inelastic behaviour of engineering structures.
Mechanics of materials:
Static indeterminacy, plane strain, curved beams, theories of
elastic failure: yielding.
Dynamics of machines:
Kinematics of rigid bodies: relative velocity, kinetics of rigid
bodies; force mass and acceleration; general plane motion;
balancing of rotating shafts, work and energy.

Subject aims and description
This subject is an introduction to the physiological aspects of
ergonomics. In particular the student is introduced to topics
that relate human performance to the physical environment.
These topics are:
lntroduction to Ergonomics
lntroduction to ergonomics and human factors in engineering;
sources of information.
Physical Environment
Noise and hearing: Functional anatomy of the ear; principles
and units of sound pressure level and intensity; frequency
spectrum and scales. Sight and illumination: Functional
anatomy of the eye; principles and units of light; the colour
spectrum and perception; methods of calculation and lighting
requirements. Thermal Stress: principles, measurement and
control.
Functional Anatomy
Functional description of the muscular-skeletal structure of
body including joint anatomy, motion control, tactile senses;
introduction to the central nervous system.
Practical Work
Noise measurement, light measurement, thermal stress
measurement.

MM~O Manufacturing Technology and
CADICAM
No. of hours per week: two hours for two
semesters
Subject aims and description
This subject is comprised of a CADICAM section (of theory and
hands-on) and a lecture based manufacturing technology
section, each occupying one semester.
Assessment of the two sections will be completed on a
semester basis, with the manufacturing technology section
being assessed by examination and assignment and the CAD/
CAM section being assessed by separate assignments in CAD
and CAM and submitted reports on the CAM hands-on work.
The subject aims to provide students with an understanding of
some of the fundamental technologies employed in
manufacturing industry. Students will develop an appreciation
of the principles underlying these technologies, how they are
applied, and how they affect product cost and quality.
Students will also be introduced to the principles of computer
aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacture (CAM),
and through hands-on exercises, begin to develop skills in the
application of CADICAM.
