[edit] Recommended Textbook

Two good books for further explanation, worked examples and exercises are:

• Mechanics of Materials (1997) Gere & Timoshenko, publ. ITP ISBN 0-534-93429-3.
• Mechanics of Solids (1989) Fenner, publ. Blackwell ISBN 0-632-02018-0.

[edit] Course content

The course is for CET I. It teaches failure criteria for pressure vessels for safe reactor design.

[edit] Aims

Introduce stress and strain relationships for thin walled pressure vessels. Derivation of, and application of, Mohr's circle to find principal stresses and strains. Tresca's and van Mises failure criteria and their application for safe design.

[edit] Assumed knowledge

A level physics / maths

[edit] Resources

Lecture notes will be handed out at the beginning of the lectures.

1 example sheets with problems will also be handed out.
