Subject description
Failure of engineered systems leads to increase in costs, downtime in manufacturing and potentially even loss of life. This subject explores some of the many failure modes associated with machine components. It enables students to design and analysis frames and machines for stiffness, strength, fatigue life, fast fracture and other failure modes. Specifically, students perform; external and internal load analysis by applying principles of stress, strain, free body diagrams and equilibrium; selection and sizing of materials and member of appropriate sizes considering the impact of failure modes, including Fatigue, fracture, buckling; referring to relevant standards and codes to assess design for safety; use these theories in conjunction with computational tools to undertake design optimisation and simulation for virtual testing; and undertake experimentation to verify and validate simulation and theoretical results.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
1. Design complex machine structural components for strength, durability, and life. (C.1)
2. Analyse machine structural components by applying advanced engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials concepts. (D.1)
3. Reference and apply relevant design standards to meet minimum safety and design requirements. (B.1)
4. Apply experimental and computational methods in conjunction with theoretical methods. (C.1)
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes specifically to the development of the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs):
. Socially Responsible: FEIT graduates identify, engage, interpret and analysestakeholder needs and cultural perspectives, establish priorities and goals, and identify constraints, uncertainties and risks (social, ethical, cultural, legislative, environmental, economics etc.) to define the system requirements. (B.1)
· Design Oriented: FEIT graduates apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to develop components, systems and processes to meet specified requirements. (C.1)
. Technically Proficient: FEIT graduates apply abstraction, mathematics and discipline fundamentals, software, tools and techniques to evaluate, implement and operate systems. (D.1)

Teaching and learning strategies
This subject consists of three main teaching modules and a single major project. Each module will be completed over a period of three weeks and formative quizzes undertaken to gauge student competency of these modules. Each module will comprise of (1) online learning materials, (2) weekly face-to-face tutorials, (3) weekly forums, and (4) possible lab classes. Feedback and reflection on content will be provided during tutorials where students are required to actively participate in learning activities facilitated by the tutor.
Students are expected to complete online learning materials to facilitate in-class activities for tutorials and forums. This will include a number of individual and collaborative activities on theoretical and computational analysis where students will be encouraged to actively contribute to collaborative activities.
Formative Quizzes will be used throughout learning modules to help student monitor their performance and provide feedback on progress and understanding of content.
A Mastery exam will be undertaken after week 6 to demonstrate student’s understanding of the course content.
A major project will be undertaken by individual students. Feedback will be provided through direct engagement with tutors where students provided details of their approach to the projects and are given direction by tutors. This will be assessed through a professional technical report provided by the student and a brief presentation demonstrating their work.
