Finite Element (FE) Laboratory

This is a written report on the FE modelling part of the course and will involve problem-solving exercises. The timetable of FE tutorials will be available on MyUni in the beginning of semester.

Experimental Laboratory

This is a report on the experimental study part of the course. The timetable for the lab classes will be available on MyUni in the beginning of semester.

Exam

The examination is intended to assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of the course material. The final examination is open-book.

Solid Mechanics module:

Assignments

These are problem-solving exercises. These problems will be discussed in class in detail before the due date. Example problems with full worked solutions will be considered in class and the solutions of the assignment’s problem will be available on MyUni.

Quizzes

Quizzes are individual in-class assignments and this includes problem-solving exercises to be completed in 45 min with full worked solutions to be available on MyUni.

Sports Materials module:

Assignments, Tutorials & Lab classes

These cover the topics from this module of the course. Final details TBA.

Late assessments will be penalised 10% per day. Extensions for assignments and reports will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation can be made in writing after a lecture or via email. Hard copy assignments will be assessed and returned in 2 weeks of the due date. There will be no opportunities for re-submission of work of unacceptable standard.
