Aims
To extend ENG1006 Materials I in the areas of processing and microstructure in dictating the mechanical properties of materials and design of components by taking into account fatigue, fracture and creep.
Outline Of Syllabus
- Overview of materials, with yield and failure mechanisms.
- Principles of Linear Elastic Fracture mechanics.
- Fatigue: mechanisms, S-N curves, methods for improving fatigue performance.
- Creep of engineering materials.
- Statistical basis of design.
- Use of the above in design of metallic, polymeric and composite components.
- Failure of polymers and composites.
- Case studies on metallic, polymeric and composite components.

Teaching Activities
Category | Activity | Number | Length | Student Hours | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Lecture | 8 | 1:00 | 8:00 | Present-in-person lectures and module talks. |
Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 1 | 2:00 | 2:00 | Inspera closed-book invigilated exam to be taken in computer cluster (PiP). |
Structured Guided Learning | Lecture materials | 8 | 2:00 | 16:00 | 8hrs online non-synchronous, pre-recorded video-lectures (student hours consider a multiplier of 2) |
Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 20 | 0:30 | 10:00 | Recommended revision for exams, assuming prior regular independent study throughout teaching |
Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 1 | 5:00 | 5:00 | Preparation and completion of quizzes. |
Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Practical | 1 | 3:00 | 3:00 | Present-in-person (non-essential, formative learning) laboratory. |
Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Small group teaching | 6 | 1:00 | 6:00 | Present-in-Person tutorials to support independent study and reinforce skills practice. |
Guided Independent Study | Independent study | 1 | 50:00 | 50:00 | Recommended regular personal study throughout teaching period to follow up taught classes |
Total | 100:00 |
Teaching Rationale And Relationship
- Lectures convey the underlying engineering science and the approaches required to apply this to the discipline- specific problems identified.
- Tutorials support the students' self-study in reading around the lecture material and learning to solve the practical engineering problems posed by the Tutorial Questions.
- Laboratory work enables students to gain hands-on experience in experimental methods and relate to the theory taught during the lectures.
Alternative to PiP in case of public health issues:
- PiP lectures will be replaced by non-synchronous pre-recorded lectures, supported by online synchronous tutorials.
- PiP laboratories will be replaced with virtual laboratories including videos to show materials, equipment, and their functioning and guided activities on analysis of the results. ns.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams
Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Digital Examination | 120 | 1 | A | 100 | Inspera invigilated closed-book Exam (PiP). |
Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Computer assessment | 1 | M | Canvas quiz on Metals to check module knowledge/practice exam format. 10 questions. |
Computer assessment | 1 | M | Canvas quiz on Metals to check module knowledge/practice exam format. 10 questions. |
Computer assessment | 1 | M | Canvas quiz on Polymers to check module knowledge/practice exam format. 10 questions. |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The assessment approach ensures that students have a level of formative assessed feedback as the course progresses. Combined with tutorial sessions, these will highlight to lecturing staff if any learning issues exist.
The in-class quizzes will also be used as a way of providing examples of the question formats that will be utilised in the Inspera exam that will attract 100% of the available marks.
The closed-book Inspera exam will be invigilated, on-campus. A formula sheet will be provided for use within the exam, allowing the students to demonstrate the application of the knowledge they have been taught.
