Aerospace Mechanics of Materials

This course deals with understanding of basic structural behaviour. Students will learn about concepts such as stress and strain under different kinds of loading (e.g. tensile, shear and bending).

Additionally, students will develop skills to solve statically indeterminate structural problems.

Weekly quizzes that will be given indicative grades for feedback, but do not count towards the final grade (formative feedback). A list of recommended problems will be provided that can be used to practice for the weekly quizzes.

Written final exam (with an entry requirement) covering all course learning objectives worth 10 points (100% of final grade).

A resit exam opportunity (with an entry requirement) will be offered in the exam period of the subsequent quarter in which the course is offered. The resit will be worth 10 points (100% of final grade).

Entry requirement for the final/resit exam: Students are eligible to take the final exam within the academic year in which a student has met the threshold for the number of required honest attempts for weekly quizzes. An attempt at a particular weekly quiz is seen as honest, if the paperwork that was submitted shows that a clear attempt was made to solve the problem(s) given in the particular weekly quiz. Students who did not meet the entry requirement for the final exam will be offered a repair opportunity for the resit exam. More details about the weekly quizzes and requirements for entry in the final exam and repair thereof will be explained in the first lecture of the course.
