Unit Code: MCD651

Unit Name: Solid Mechanics

Description: Engineering Technologists are expected to understand the behaviour of solid bodies subjected to external loading and distinguish the relationship between the externally applied loads and the induced internal stresses in various structural members. You will also learn design and analysis techniques of axial and torsional loaded members, beams, columns and pressure vessels. This course will also enable you to implement these relationships into the mechanical design procedure in order to determine the appropriate material and geometry for the structural or machine member.
