Objectives
The objective of the course is to provide the basics when it comes to an engineer´s most important tools for product development, notably materials technology and solid mechanics. Also touched upon in the course is manufacturing technology.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to:
- be familiar with different types of material, their properties when it comes to the dimensioning of products, as well as their suitability for different manufacturing methods
- have a good grasp of the stress and strain of materials, on the relationship between stress and strain, and of normal stress and shear stress
- be able to calculate stress and deformation in strings, axles, and cylinders, as well as stress in beams
- be familiar with the concept of stress concentration and able to apply it
Course content
- different types of materials and their properties, in particular metallic, polymeric, and fibre-armoured materials
- the choice of materials in construction work
- the suitability of materials for different manufacturing techniques such as plastic forming and cutting
- stress and strain, and the connection between stress and strain
- normal stress and shear stress
- the bending of beams and the twisting of bars
- stress and deformation in axles and cylinders
- stress concentrations
Tuition
Teaching and learning take place by means of lectures, seminars, and laboratory sessions. Hand-in assignments and lab sessions support the learning process while, at the same time, they are part of the examination of the course.
Specific requirements
A basic knowledge of mechanics corresponding to Statics, 4.5 credits.
Examination
Exercise (INL2), Individual hand-in assignment on materials technology. , 0.5 credits, marks Pass (G)
Exercise (INL4), 1.5 credits, marks Pass (G)
Exercise, laboratory work (LAB3), 1.5 credits, marks Pass (G)
Examination (TEN1), Written exam on materials technology, 2 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5
Examination (TEN2), Written exam on solid mechanics, 2 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5
A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
Grade
