The module gives the students the opportunity to provide solutions for stress and dynamic technology problems. They will further their knowledge studying:-
Axisymmetry stress analysis of thick cylinders and rotating disks.
Matrix methods, finite element and potential energy methods.
Fatigue and fracture analysis.
Forced damped Vibration Analysis of two degrees and multi-degrees of freedom systems.
Practical applications using commercial Finite element Analysis packages like ANSYS.

Lectures (24 hours) and seminars (12 hours) to support student learning
Directed student-centred learning
