ENEC12012 - Stress Analysis

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In this unit you will develop skills to analyse the stresses in a structural member subjected to various actions such as axial force, torsion, bending moments and shear force using the principles of mechanics of materials. You will learn how individual structural members resist and transfer the stresses as well as ways in which they can fail. You will document the process of modelling, testing and analysis and communicate, work and learn, both individually and in teams in a professional manner. Students enrolled in distance mode are required to attend a compulsory Residential School.

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).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 20%
2. Written Assessment 20%
3. Practical and Written Assessment 10%
4. Examination 50%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback
More time should be provided for the online quiz assessments.
Recommendation
Quiz assessments will be reviewed and revisited.
Action Taken
More time was provided for the online quiz assessments.

Feedback
Weight of quiz assessment to be reduced. Use written assessment for the final test instead of quiz format.
Recommendation
The final exam will be a written assessment and not a quiz.
Action Taken
The end-of-term test was changed to a written take-home assessment.

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Apply the principles and theories of mechanics of materials to the analysis of structural members
  2. Determine sectional properties, stresses and deflections of structural members
  3. Analyse structural members subjected to combined axial force, torsion, bending moment and shear force
  4. Determine principal stresses and discuss failure criteria for a range of engineering materials
  5. Demonstrate a professional level of communication and team work

The learning outcomes are linked to Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies and also discipline capabilities.
