Module title:Mechanics of Materials
Module codeEMPM003
Module lecturers:Prof Christopher Smith
Module credits:10

In this module you will learn about the fundamental theories governing elasticity in solids, and the methods engineers use to measure these properties in real world problems. One simple example of this; the stress concentration around a hole in a plate is examined in detail in a lab class. This module will give you the knowledge and skills to calculate what these stresses are, measure them in a lab or in service, understand how to analyse such data, and to design components to avoid such issues in the first place. This will help prepare you for similar complex problems in professional practice.
