STUDENTS ASSIGNMENT GROUP PROJECT – DAM 21003

(SEM II 2017/2018)

Each group needs to provide technical discussion for the following issues through detailed written reports. The
allocation of topics is as follows:

Groups Topic
1. By referring to an actual example, discuss the stress and strain : axial load, normal stress, shear stress
2. By referring to an actual example, discuss the stress and strain : bearing stress, allowable stress,
3. By referring to an actual example, discuss the stress and strain : deformation of structure under axial load
4. By referring to an actual example, discuss the stress and strain : statically in determine problems, thermal
stress
5. By referring to an actual example, discuss the stress and strain : thermal stress
6. By referring to an actual example, discuss the shear force and bending moment : load and beam, shear
force and bending moment diagrams
7. By referring to an actual example, discuss the shear force and bending moment : maximum bending
moment and point of contra flexure
8. By referring to an actual example, discuss the bending stress : second moment of area, the bending formula
9. By referring to an actual example, discuss the bending stress : bending deformation of straight member,
composite beam
10. By referring to an actual example, discuss the torsion : torsional deformation of circular shaft, the torsion
formula
11. By referring to an actual example, discuss the torsion : power transmission, angle of twist
12. By referring to an actual example, discuss the torsion : statically indeterminate problems
13. By referring to an actual example, discuss the thin cylinder : hoop and longitudinal stress
14. By referring to an actual example, discuss the thin cylinder : deformation of thin cylinder and thin sphere due
to internal pressure
15. By referring to an actual example, discuss the thin cylinder : deformation in diameter, length and volume
16. By referring to an actual example, discuss the analysis of complex stress : plane stress, general equation of
plane stress transformation
17. By referring to an actual example, discuss the analysis of complex stress : the principle stress
18. By referring to an actual example, discuss the analysis of complex stress : mohr’s circle

The written report must contain and use the following information;

1. Title
2. Group members
3. Introduction or background
4. Discussion
 Please indicate and elaborate the fundamental processes that take place in your
assignment
 Your discussion must also be based on engineering or technical facts and theories
5. summary
6. references
 must at least referred to ten (10) technical papers; journal articles or proceedings
 must at least referred to five (5) books
7. Format;
 Times new roman
 Font; 12
 Spacing ; 1.5

8. Using Turnitin Software (from Library UTHM);

 Plagiarism checker report (at least 30 – 40 % accepted)

Marks will be awarded according to the depth of discussion and quality of the written report. This
assignment group represents 10% of the total possible marks for this subject. Inter-group discussions are
not allowed and groups MUST AVOID SIMILARITY IN TECHNICAL DISCUSSION.
