Bespoke / Other Training
Advanced or Application Specific Training
Optimised Engineering can provide bespoke training based around customer requirements. Using the analysis software on a day-to-day basis has given us a deep understanding of its use in many projects.
Prerequisites: None
Duration: As required
Basic Principles of Stress and Strain
With FEA systems entering the mainstream, stress analysis is increasingly aimed at the designer or draftsman, increasing the danger of performing analysis without sufficient understanding of the underlying theory. Optimised Engineering has developed a one day course specifically designed as an introduction or refresher to the basic concepts of static systems and stress analysis.
Understanding forces, reactions, equilibrium and free body diagrams
Components of stress (3 normal, 6 shear), strain, poisson's ratio, stress and strain relationship, modulus of elasticity, stress concentration
Beams - basic bending theory, shear and moment diagrams, second moment of area, beam stress
Shafts - the torsion equation, thick and thin cylinders
Pressure Vessels
Complex stress - Mohr's circle, principal stresses, maximum shear stress
Material failure theory - ductile/brittle (Von Mises yield criterion), fatigue
Geometric failure - buckling
Design of mechanical components - keys, pins, shafts
The use of standard texts (e.g. Roarks formulas for Stress and Strain etc.)
Prerequisites: None
Duration: 1 Day
