- Learning Outcomes
- On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Evaluate complex states of stress and the effects of dynamic loadings on a mechanical system. 2. Design jointing systems. 3. Analyse beam failure modes and calculate deflections and shear stresses. 4. Calculate failure loads for concentrically loaded columns.
