This unit has been discontinued.
Introduction
The unit covers fundamental concepts, principles, and methods of stress analysis, including elastic stress analysis of two- and three-dimensional bodies, Airy and Saint Venant stress function formulations and specific solutions in rectangular and polar coordinates, axisymmetric stresses in rotating bodies, stress concentrations, introduction to finite element analysis, torsion of various cross section types with and without warping restraint, behaviour of laterally loaded plates and simple shells, stresses in pipes and cylinders, and an introduction to isotropic, orthotropic and composite materials.
The unit augments the fundamentals of the elastic behaviour of solid bodies acquired earlier in the course, laying also foundations for computer methods of analysis of stresses in solid bodies. It emphasizes understanding of principles involved and their application to practical situations.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
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).
