3.
Evaluate and rationalise calculated results to ensure accuracy
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Simple analysis for design
Use of free-body diagrams in determining loads and reactions, simple hand calculations, statics of a particle, statics of rigid bodies, load deformation of materials, concepts of stress and strain.
Finite element analysis for design
Modelling strategy. Planning the analysis. Analysis types. Loading, point loads, stress singularities, pressure loading. Boundary conditions, use of symmetry, balanced loading and minimum constraint, avoidance of free body motion, problems associated with inappropriate boundary conditions. Choice of element, mesh controls and mesh density, convergence of results, problems with element distortion, adaptive meshing. Managing the solution, types of solver, analysis of errors and warnings. Post processing and results checking. Review of available results, stress, strain, displacement, primary and derived quantities etc. Interpretation of results, checking results, reaction forces, displaced shape, nodal and element plots, hand calculations. Design against yielding in materials and factors of safety.
