ING2116 Strength of Materials and Machine Design

Contents and structure

Significant elements of material mechanics such as stress and deformation. Subsequent dimension criteria, elastic materials, torsion, stresses in and deformations of beams. Tresca and von Mises yield criteria, Mohr's circle for plane stress, and the generalized Hooke's Law.

General dimensioning yield stress and fatigue. Shafts, rotating power transmissions, bearings, lubrication, lubricants, and seals. Systematic approach in engineering design.

Use of 2D and 3D CAD software.

Learning Outcome

Knowledge:

The student:

• has basic knowledge about the principles of statics and material mechanics
• can explain different machine components in engineering design
• has basic knowledge of dimensioning and calculation of stress and strain in structures with focus on yield and fatigue

 

Skills:

The student:

• practice mathematics and physics to formulate, specify and solve problems concerning material mechanics.
• can dimension and calculate stresses and deformations in trusses, beams, machine components and other structures. Note that the basis are statical and dynamical loads
• can choose machine components and assemble technical system with functions according to the specification
• can consider solutions and results critically.

 

General qualification:

The student:

• has knowledge concerning innovation processes and engineering design from the definition of the requirements and methodological solutions to final drawings
• have insight into the subject's fundamental importance related to engieneering and construction
• can perform the engineering design process in teams
• is able to use computational tools in engineering design

Entry requirements

None

Recommended previous knowledge

Physics, Statics and Strength of Materials

Mechanical/structural engineering and classical mechanics courses from technical vocational school.

Teaching methods

Lectures, workshops and laboratory work.

Regular lectures, exercises, laboratory work and similar activities will be given every third week. During the two weeks where there is no regular teaching, the students are expected to work on the subject by themselves or in teams and to follow course material that is made available online.

In special cases instruction will be given by an English speaking lecturer/guest lecturer. The exam will still be given in Norwegian.

Parts of the course might be given in Haugesund.

Compulsory learning activities

Yes (will be specified in the course plan by semester start).

Valid for the semester that compulsory assignments are completed and the next semester.

Assessment

Part 1: Portfolio, accounts for 40 % of the final grade.

Part 2: Written exam, 4 hours, accounts for 60 % of the final grade.

 

Both parts must be passed.

Graded scale: A - E / F (failed).

Examination support material

Written exam: The University College's calculator (Casio fx-82Es) and Teknisk formelsamling (Pedersen, Gustavsen, Kaasa og Olsen) will be handed out during the exam.
