Module title:Mechanics of Materials
Module codeENE2005
Module lecturers:Prof Philipp Thies
Module credits:15

This module aims to help you  understand the properties of engineering materials, and the classification of steels, non-iron metals and polymers.  It also teaches you how to physically test samples of materials to determine material properties, and how to  avoid failure in engineering applications, including stress and deformation calculation. Moreover,  the module is designed to help you to comprehend failure mechanism, including fracture and fatigue, and  understand complex stresses and strains arising in elastic and non-elastic systems. In addition, you will learn how to apply numerical evaluation methods, including both underlying principal methods and industrial software implementation .

Finally, by the end of the module, you will be able to use calculation methods to assess fastening of multiple components.

Please note that all modules are subject to change, please get in touch if you have any questions about this module.
