Title of Module: Design Analysis 2

Code: ENGG09020 SCQF Level: 9
(Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework)		 Credit Points: 20 ECTS: 10
(European Credit Transfer Scheme)
School:School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences
Module Co-ordinator:Tony  Murmu

Summary of Module

This module will introduce students to engineering mechanics that are the basis of design and analysis of engineering components and systems. The module is divided into three main topic areas of study, mechanics of materials, dynamic/acoustic systems and thermofluid mechanics.

 Definition of the parameters associated with forced vibration systems. Experimental vibration testing concentrating on measurements taken and signal processing.

 Basic thermodynamic definitions are revised then typical power cycles are reviewed. This includes detailed analysis of steam power cycles, gas power cycles and refrigeration cycle. 

 The importance of the basic theory and techniques of the three topic areas in the design and analysis of components and systems will be exemplified via the use of examples.

 

During the course of this module, students will develop their UWS Graduate Attributes (https://www.uws.ac.uk/current-students/your-graduate-attributes/ ).

Universal:  Academic attributes (critical thinking and analytical & inquiring mind);

Work-Ready: Academic attributes (knowledge of advanced statics, dynamics and thermofluids applied to engineering design); Personal (motivated);

Successful: Academic attributes (autonomous), Personal (imaginative and resilient), Professional (Driven)

The module will be delivered via a blend of lectures, tutorials and laboratory experiments to exemplify the taught theory to the practical design of engineering components and systems.

  • Statically Determinate and Indeterminant deflection of beams will be addressed with the deflections and reactions evaluated using the Macaulay's Method.

  • Theories of failure will be introduced for ductile and brittle failure, Tresca, Von Mises and Gordon Rankine will be used to assess the load to first yield and factors of safety for engineering components.

  • Basic fatigue analysis will be introduced, with the SN diagram for zero mean loading and the Soderberg/modified Soderberg approach adopted for non zero mean loading conditions. The concept of endurance limits will be introduced and calculated for circular sections.

  • Thick cylinder theory will be presented with Lame’ equations used for the design and analysis of pressurized, rotating and compound cylinder applications.

  • Introduce the concept of elastic stability as applied to columns. Calculate Euler critical bucking loads and compare to critical loads predicted from BS5950.

  • Description of transmissibility and vibration isolation and development of the theory to calculate, force transmitted to foundations, displacement, velocity and acceleration. Introduction to multi degree of freedom systems.

  • This module has been reviewed and updated, taking cognisance of the University’s Curriculum Framework principles. Examples of this are found within the module such as active and engaging laboratory and tutorial activity, module assessment which reflects industry design activities, learning synergies across modules and levels of study, recorded lecture content supporting students to organise their own study time, the use of integrated group activities supporting learning communities and and assessment of Continuing Professional Development allowing students to focus on and document their personal professional development utilising a PSRB template.

check markcheck mark

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.

Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations

Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.

HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus

HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus

Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
