Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)
Upon completion of the course students should have the ability to:
Knowledge and understanding
- explain central concepts and calculations in solid mechanics
- show familiarity with the relation between tension and elongation
- show familiarity with the use of elastic modulus, shear modulus, tensile strength and yield point
- explain the properties and material composition of plastic and composite materials
- show familiarity with different manufacturing methods and their respective possibilities and limitations.
Skills and abilities
- calculate different conditions of tension and deformation
- decide correct dimension of structures based on information about strain and the linear mechanical properties of the material
- calculate and use safety factors
- discuss production methods based on information about demands on a product, volume of material and production in relation to sustainable development
- perform calculations on non-complex constructions.
Judgement and approach
- reflect on the environmental and personal health impact of materials
- show ability to see if a solution is within reason.
