Overview

A range of advanced engineering analysis techniques, applicable over a range of engineering disciplines, is studied. Fundamental equations of solid and fluid mechanics are re-examined and a unified treatment of elasticity and flow of Newtonian fluids is given. Techniques of mathematical optimisation are discussed, as the basis for much engineering synthesis and the solution of inverse problems. Students carry our practical exercises using MATLAB and other software packages.

Structure

12 weeks – 2 one-hour lectures and 1 one-hour practical/tutorial per week.

Assessment

1 three-hour written examination paper (80%) and in-course assessment (20%).
