TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
1 | Calculate reactions acting on particles and rigid bodies using free body diagrams and equilibrium equations. |
2 | Analyse members that are subjected to systems of forces and moments to enable the construction of axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams. |
3 | Determine forces acting on individual members of frames, machines and trusses. |
4 | Determine the centroids, 2nd moments and product of area and inertial properties of various areas and simple objects. |
