Title of Module: Design Analysis 3

Code: ENGG10020 SCQF Level: 10
(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

Analysis and synthesis of linear translational, torsional and combined (coupled) translational and torsional vibrations, with and without damping. The method of solution will be based on modeling of engineering systems and matrix methods allied to computerised solutions.

Shear stress distribution in beams will be introduced as will shear centre and shear flow.

A range of experimental methods will be investigated for simple continuous systems focusing on experimental modal testing.

 The application of modern methods and equipment for the measurement and analysis of experimental vibration data.

 Analysis of creep in components operating at elevated temperature.

 Plastic analysis of components subject to axial and bending loads.

 The analysis of components containing crack like defects using LEFM and Paris Law.

 

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); Personal (motivated);

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

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 and recorded lecture content supporting students to organise their own study time.

Scope of the Module:

  • Shear stress distribution, shear centre and shear flow topics are introduced.

  • Analysis and synthesis of multi mass transverse beam vibrations for multi-degree of freedom problems based upon the transfer matrix approach using field, point (mass), and support matrices excluding damping. The method of solution will be based on modeling of engineering systems and matrix methods allied to computerised solutions.

  • Analysis and synthesis of torsional vibrations for multi-degree of freedom problems including gear inertias and branching effects with and without damping, and based upon the matrix approach. The method of solution will be based of engineering systems and matrix methods allied to computerized solutions. Vibration of Structures.

  • The creep process and the simple secondary creep power law is applied to the range of components to predict failure/rupture, life times and relaxation/recovery in a range of materials including viscoelastic.

  • Shape factors, plastic moment of resistance for symmetrical and unsymmetrical sections. Residual stress and spring back effects. Application to simple engineering components.

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.
