CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY

Examination

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES

Engineering Stress Analysis: Theory and Simulation

Academic Year 2024-2025

SUBMISSION DEADLINE to be confirmed


(Total marks: 100)

Assignment Introduction:
 Each student shall perform and write up an Engineering Stress Analysis
based on the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methodology taught in this
module.
 The subject of the FEA study is free to be chosen by the student.
 Abaqus should be used as the FEA simulation tool, whilst the structural
geometry might be created by other software.
 A report will be submitted as the sole material for this coursework’s marking
purposes.
 The report should demonstrate your knowledge of the engineering
background and stress analysis, as well as your FEA ability to analyse a
structural problem.
 The report should also show the strength and limitations of your analysis by
elaborating on your original thinking and judgement on the problem & model.
 A standard simulation paper format should be followed, divided into four main
sections: Introduction, Computational Approach, Results and Discussion,
Conclusions.
 The main four sections should be no more than 2500 words, i.e. excluding the
title page, references and appendices.
 The total page number of all content should be no more than 15.
 A template of the report is given at the end of this document.

Marking distribution:
 Introduction: background, the state of art, aim of this work (10%)
 Methodology: explanation of model build-up, including but not limited to
geometry, material, boundary conditions and loading. (20%)
 Meshing strategy and mesh sensitivity test (20%)
 Results and discussion: key analysis of the stress and further (25%)
 Conclusions: summary the work, recount key results, limitation and future
work (10%)
 References: references’ quality and correct format (5%)
 Presentation: quality of figures, overall professional style of report (10%)
Please note that marks will be given separately for each criterion, i.e. over-
performance in one criterion will not grant marks in another criterion. Also, the
marking will be given based on quality of work, depth of theory understanding, and
depth of stress analysis, but will not depend on how difficult the simulation model is.

The template of the report is given in the following pages.
