MECH ENG 7043 - Stresses in Plates & Shells

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2019

Plates and shells are common structural elements of most engineering 最新糖心Vlog, including aerospace, naval, automotive, and civil engineering 最新糖心Vlog, and their study, both from theoretical and analysis points of view, is fundamental to the understanding of the behaviour of such 最新糖心Vlog. The course includes strong coverage of fundamentals so that students can better understand the mechanics of plates and shells. In particular, it covers the following topics: plate bending theory, Kirchhoff hypotheses; bending of circular and rectangular plates; bending of plates of various geometry; combined loading; thermal stresses; membrane theory of shells and intro to asymptotic theories; momentum theory; axisymmetrically loaded circular cylindrical shells; applications to pressure vessels.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

     
    1 Have a deep understanding the theory, concepts, principles and governing equations of the theory of shells and plates
    2 Be gaining the physical intuition necessary to idealise a complicated practical problem
    3 Possess the contemporary analytical, experimental and computational tools needed to solve the idealised problem
    4 Have acquired the independent judgment required to interpret the results of these solutions
    5 Be able to use these solutions to guide a corresponding design, manufacture, or failure analysis
    6 Further develop interpersonal understanding, teamwork and communication skills working on group assignments
    7 Be able to learn independently new solutions, principles and methods, read and understand professional articles on the subject

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
