What it covers
This unit aims to develop an understanding of the analytical methodologies used in strength and stiffness assessment of engineering structures and components. It allows you to translate real-world forces into abstract form for engineering modelling of a range of common problems found in industry and gain knowledge of the relationship between analysis and design. You will be exposed to a wide range of analytical tools and modeling philosophies. To complement these analytical solution techniques, you will now be taught the fundamentals of finite element analysis.
