Overview
In this unit, you will study the behaviour of solid bodies under different loadings by applying basic stress analysis principles and the introductory knowledge of engineering materials. You will gain in-depth understanding of the concepts of continuum stress, strain and deflection; analyse the response of mechanical components to axial, transverse, torsional, bending and buckling loads in the linear elastic regime. You will apply the theory of generalised Hooke’s law to design pressure vessels and similar thin walled structures. You will perform calculations concerned with the mechanical properties of materials and conceptually design different mechanical components and structures based on strength, stiffness and stability. You will acquire the skills and knowledge required to develop analytical techniques that are used to solve a wide range of linear stress/strain problems in engineering practice.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: (MATH11160 Technology Mathematics or MATH11218 Applied Mathematics) AND (ENEG11006 Engineering Statics or ENEM12007 Statics & Dynamics) AND (ENEG11008 Materials for Engineers or ENEG12005 Material Science and Engineering).
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2027
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Unit coordinator own reflection
3D printing models are most useful tools for student learning.
This practice should be continued.
Feedback from SUTE
Additional solved problems in unit Moodle site can help students' learning.
More solved materials should be provided.
Feedback from SUTE
Lecture materials need a review.
A thorough review should be carried out.
