The aims of this module are for the student to have an appreciation of the different philosophies used for manufacturing automotive and aerospace engineering products and components; learn how a computer aided engineering (CAE) environment can be used to facilitate the design of these products. Learn how to select materials based on stiffness, strength and sustainability to undertake the design of a simple aeronautical or automotive structure.

The aim of this module is to cover adequately those mathematical topics which are fundamental to all engineering disciplines. An over-rigorous approach is avoided.

The aim of this module is for the student to build on principles of Engineering Mechanics in TTA001 (Statics and Dynamics) to cover central-force motion, dynamics of systems of particles and two-dimensional dynamics of rigid bodies, and also introduce elements of analytical mechanics and vibration of particles and rigid bodies.

The aim of this module is to give students an understanding of system reliability concepts in the aerospace and automotive industries.

The aims of the module are for the student to be able to describe and apply the physical principles and laws governing the generation of lift and drag on lifting surfaces operating in incompressible flows.

The aims of this module are for students to understand:

• The fundamentals of aircraft structural loading during flight manoeuvres.
• The role of airworthiness requirements in the analysis and design of airframe structures.
• The significance of cyclic loading and fatigue with particular reference to their influence on airframe life.
• The basic consideration of aeroelasticity and its importance in airframe structural design.

The aim of this module is for the student to build on the Elasticity module TTA104, to cover the mechanical behaviour of simple beams under bending loads (elementary beam theory) and specifically introduce equations used for calculating bending and shear stresses and bending and shear deflections.

The aim of this module is for the student to extend their fundamental knowledge of fluid mechanics in the area of established high speed compressible flow theory. Understanding of the fundamental phenomena particular to high speed flows will be gained and its relevance appreciated by demonstration of its application to aircraft based problems.
