The primary aim of the course is to provide students with the basic skills and knowledge required to analyse displacement, stress, strain and failure in deformable solids and biological tissues using analytical solutions and the Finite Element Method. At the completion of the course, students should:

As per university recommendations: it is expected that students spend 48 hrs/week during teaching periods, and that a 3 unit course has a minimum workload of 156 hours. Additional time may need to be spent acquiring assumed knowledge, working on assessment during non-teaching periods, and preparing for and attending examinations.

Final Exam 70%

The Final exam will be scheduled in the 最新糖心Vlog exam weeks.

All assignments are due by 5pm on the due date. Details of each task are tabulated below. Please note that while every effort has been made to ensure that this information reflects an accurate plan, the coordinate and lecturers have the right to make changes that ensure the continual improvement of the course. Any such changes will be mad clear during the lectures and via MyUni.

Sports/Biological Materials

Sport Materials Laboratory 1: Materials testing

This laboratory will involve materials testing (sports or biological). You will be required to submit a formal laboratory report for assessment and this will be 15% in the assessment of the Sports/Biological/Composite Materials part of this course (7.5% of total course). This laboratory class will likely take place within Week 3-6 and the report will be submitted 2 weeks from the date of the laboratory. Attendance is mandatory.

Sport Materials Tutorial: Knee dissection

This tutorial will involve the systematic dissection of a pig knee to determine the function, structure and qualitative properties of the tissues of the knee. This tutorial will be carried out at UniSA. You will be required to submit a short report for assessment and this will be 3% of the assessment in the Sports/Biological Materials part of this course (1.5% of total course). This tutorial class will likely take place within Week 1 of the mid-semester break and the report will be submitted 2 weeks from the date of the laboratory. Attendance is mandatory.

Sport Materials Project

There will be a group project based on the applications of composite materials in sports equipment and/or biological materials. Further details will be provided at the beginning of semester. This assessment will be 12% of the assessment in the Sports/Biological Materials part of this course (6% of total course). The report will likely be due Friday Week 12, this will be confirmed at the beginning of semester.

Solid Mechanics

Assignments 1 – 3

There are problem-solving exercises. These problems will be discussed in class in detail before the due date. Example problems with full worked solutions will be considered in class and the solutions of the assignment’s problem will be available on MyUni.

FE Tutorials Report

This is an individually written assignment on the FE modelling part of the course and will involve problem-solving exercises. The timetable of FE tutorials will be available on MyUni in the beginning of semester.

Lab Classes Report

This is a group assignment on the experimental study part of the course. The timetable for the lab classes will be available on MyUni in the beginning of semester.

Quizzes

Quizzes are individual in-class assignments and this includes problem-solving exercises to be completed in 45 min with full worked solutions to be available on MyUni.

Solid Mechanics Quizzes will be collected at the end of tutorial.

All other Solid Mechanics assignments and reports must be submitted as a hard copy accompanied by an assessment cover sheet. These must be placed in the labelled box located on level 2 of Engineering South Building.

All Sports/Biological Materials and Composites assessments must be submitted in hard-copy, accompanied by an assessment cover sheet, to the “Sports Materials” box located on level 2 of Engineering South Building AND must be submitted electronically in PDF format via email to claire.jones@adelaide.edu.au

Late assessments will be penalised 10% per day. Extensions for assignments and reports will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation can be made in writing after a lecture or via email. Hard copy assignments will be assessed and returned in 2 weeks of the due date. There will be no opportunities for re-submission of work of unacceptable standard.
