Axial, torsional, transverse and bending loads; compound states of stress, principal stresses and strains; basic theories of failure for ductile and brittle materials; buckling including local buckling effects; basic energy methods; impact theory.
To develop basic competency in the application of the methods of Mechanics of Materials to problems in Mechanical Engineering. The course serves as a foundation for subsequent, required courses: ENME203 (Dynamics and Vibrations), ENME307 (Mechanical Behaviour of Materials) and ENME302 (Computer-aided Mechanical Engineering Analysis).
After completion of the course students should feel they have the ability to perform an engineering mechanics analysis of the following conditions:static loading conditions of standard mechanical engineering systemsaxial loading conditions and resultant stresses in a systemtransverse loading conditions and resultant stresses in a systembending loads and resultant stresses in a systemtorsional loads and resultant stresses in a systemcombined loading within a systembasic failure criteria for a mechanical systembuckling conditions within a mechanical systemstrain energy within a mechanically loaded systemimpact loading within a mechanically loaded system
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
Critically competent in a core academic discipline of their award
Students know and can critically evaluate and, where applicable, apply this knowledge to topics/issues within their majoring subject.
Subject to the approval of the Dean of Engineering and Forestry

Harassment* Harassment of any sort will not be tolerated. Each UC student is here to learn and to experience a friendly and supportive community.* It is every student's right to expect: respect and courtesy from staff and other students, including freedom from harassment of any sort; fair treatment; the ability to speak out about any issues that concern them, without fear of consequences for their safety and well-being.* Furthermore, each student has the responsibility to: respect the rights and property of others; attend to their own health and safety, and that of others; and behave in a manner towards each other that does not reflect badly on the student body or the University.* If you, or someone you know, has experienced harassment, please talk to your lecturers, directors of study, or head of department.Dishonest Practice* Plagiarism, collusion, copying, and ghost writing are unacceptable and dishonest practices.* Plagiarism is the presentation of any material (test, data, figures or drawings, on any medium including computer files) from any other source without clear and adequate acknowledgment of the source.* Collusion is the presentation of work performed in conjunction with another person or persons, but submitted as if it has been completed only by the named author(s).* Copying is the use of material (in any medium, including computer files) produced by another person(s) with or without their knowledge and approval.* Ghost writing is the use of another person(s) (with or without payment) to prepare all or part of an item submitted for assessment.Do not engage in dishonest practices. The Department reserves the right to refer dishonest practices to the University Proctor and where appropriate to not mark the work.The University regulations on academic integrity and dishonest practice can be found here.
