Aims
This module aims to demonstrate an understanding of where Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be used in the product development process. The student will be required to deal with complex issues, both systematically and creatively, to construct numerical models of physical systems, and critically evaluate the results of that analysis. The module will also provide a conceptual understanding of the principles of FEA and CFD, including introductory mathematical fundamentals as required.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an understanding of the properties, manufacturing processes and uses of polymers, elastomers and ceramics.
2.
Demonstrate an understanding of the properties, manufacturing processes and uses of metallic and non-metallic composite materials
3.
Design and manufacture a component to meet an engineering specification
4.
Carry out non-destructive and destructive tests to determine the performance of a component against its specification
