ENSY 0103U – Materials for Energy Systems


The properties and behaviours of materials used in energy systems. Principles of statics as applied to deformable solid bodies; stress and strain; Hooke’s law, elastic behaviour of simple members under axial force, tension, compression, shear, torsion; bending and deflection of beams; column loads and buckling; impact loading; stability of structures. The course will also cover how measurements of various parameters are made; how to set, use and analyze the appropriate sensor technology (transducers); experimental data analysis, inter-relations between various components of sensing devices, the operating principles of transducers for physical measurements; analog and digital techniques for data analysis, including multiplexing, data conversion and error detection and correction.
