Overview
This subject is intended to provide students with a thorough understanding of how to analyse simple structures such as trusses, cables, arches, beams and frames, and complex structures involving plane stress, plane strain, plate bending and axisymmetric problems. Classical methods of analysis provide means of checking computer generated outputs. The course materials in this subject are presented starting with classical methods and then gradually leading up to the stiffness method and the more general finite element method. Students are introduced to structural analysis software packages.
