Course Title:
Fracture Mechanics & Finite Element Analysis
Course Number:
ENGM250
Course Description:
The module covers the principles of linear elastic and elastic plastic fracture mechanics and their application to predicting the performance of different materials and associated structural components under short-term and long term loading. Further the concepts and principles underlying finite element stress analysis and its application are presented.
Students digital capabilities are developed throughout this module including some basic data handling and programming skills, specifically using mathematical formulae and functions, including: variables, assignments, operators, built-in functions and plotting, Matlab scripts, and functions.
A key element of the module is problem solving, thus developing students' resourcefulness. Efficient mechanical design, covering a full range of engineering materials, facilitates lightweighting, and in this way supports a sustainability agenda.
