Description
This unit introduces the fundamental concepts of mechanics of deformable solids in equilibrium. Students will develop their understanding of the physical performance of solid structural members, which are associated with a variety of structural systems in civil, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, and biomedical engineering.
Prerequisite Rule
Students must pass 1 units from ENS1101, SCP1111
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Analyse and estimate stress and strain in structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending and transverse shear.
- Analyse beams with composite sections under bending.
- Calculate basic parameters related to the stability of columns.
- Calculate basic requirements for the design of structural elements.
- Calculate deformation of structural members subjected to tension, compression, and torsion.
- Calculate internal actions in determinate structural components using the equations of force equilibrium.
- Calculate internal actions in indeterminate structural components under tension, compression, and torsion by applying compatibility conditions and material constitutive relationships.
- Demonstrate knowledge of stability requirements for members under compression.
- Demonstrate knowledge of the engineering behaviour of deformable structural members in equilibrium.
Unit Content
- Axially loaded members; stress concentration; allowable stress and factor of safety.
- Basic concepts of deformation, generalised Hookes law, elastic and inelastic deformations.
- Bending stress in composite beams; selection of economic beam sections.
- Buckling and stability of columns.
- Equilibrium of deformable bodies; centroids and moments of area.
- Pure bending and non-uniform bending; flexural stress in doubly symmetric beams.
- Relationship between load, shear force and bending moment; shear force and bending moment diagrams.
- Shear stress in beams; shear flow in built-up beams.
- Stress and strain analysis, and Mohrs circle.
- Stresses in cylindrical and spherical shells.
- Torsion, stress concentration; transmission of power.
- Unsymmetrical bending; shear-centre concept; design of beams and shafts under combined loading.
Additional Learning Experience Information
Lectures, tutorials, and laboratories.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Academic Misconduct
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- plagiarism;
- unauthorised collaboration;
- cheating in examinations;
- theft of other students' work;
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
