WHAT IS THE UNIT ABOUT?
Unit description
This is the foundation unit in the study of structures. By applying the knowledge
gained in Statics and combining it with the concepts gained in Materials Technology,
the students are introduced to fundamental theories and techniques required to
analyse the state of stress and the state of strain in any point of structural members
subjected to external loads. This knowledge will allow students to perform the
engineering calculations required to ensure that a structural member meets strength,
stiffness and stability requirements.
In addition to learning the theoretical bases of structural analysis, the student will
also develop her/his applied structural engineering skills by taking part in a problem
based learning activity conducted throughout the semester.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit, you will be able to:
1. Apply the concept of static equilibrium to determine qualitatively and
quantitatively the internal forces and deformations in common structural
members (i.e. tension bar, cable, strut, column, shaft, and beam);
2. Demonstrate knowledge of the concepts of stress, strain, and buckling and
apply it to meet strength, stiffness and stability design and construction
requirements;
3. Recognize common structural members present in real structures and explain
their respective functions;
4. Apply knowledge of material science and solid mechanics in the investigation
of the mechanical properties of materials and in the design of structural
members and report the process and outcomes to a professional standard in
oral and written form.

Date
The final exam is conducted by the Student Centre in the formal
examination period. See the Examinations and Results page on
the University’s website (http://www.utas.edu.au/exams/), or
access your personal exams timetable by logging into the
eStudent Centre - Personal Exams Timetable for specific date,
time and location closer to the examination period:
http://www.studentcentre.utas.edu.au/eStudentCentre/exams/ti
metable.aspx
How your final result is determined
The grade that you receive for this unit will be determined by a committee of
examiners. The raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material
will be combined in order to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment
Schedule for per cent weighting). The raw marks may undergo a scaling process.
Assessments will be awarded a grade from HD to NN in accordance to a criterion
based grading system where applicable (see BE Course Rules). Where applicable,
this will be based on an assessment matrix (to be handed out before the assignment
due date), which identifies the level of performance by indicative characteristics
associated with each level against each criterion. The criterion based grading
system will provide students with the following grades for each assignment, with
the final grade obtained by combining the grades of the assessments in line with
allocated weighting.
Grade
HD- to HD+
DN- to DN+
CR- to CR+
PP- to PP+
NN (Fail)
To pass the unit, students must:
• Achieve a minimum of 25% in on each of the tutorials
• Achieve a minimum of 25% in each of the two Class Tests
• Achieve a minimum of 40% in the Class Tests overall
• Achieve a minimum of 50% overall
Page 6
JEE220 Mechanics of Solids
Submission of assignments
All assignments, reports, etc. must be completed using the template provided on the
AMC website, unless otherwise specified by the lecturer. All coursework must have
the AMC Assignment Cover Sheet attached.
All assignments and reports must be typed and completed using Word,
Excel, approved Engineering drawing software and include the relevant
theory, illustrations, results, analysis, and conclusion.
Group reports must be signed by all participants.
Hard copies of the team reports, signed by all participants, must be placed in the
lecturer’s assignment box by the due dates (ground floor in the Swanson Building).
Electronic submissions are not acceptable (unless otherwise instructed by the
lecturer). The assessed work will be returned during lecture or as agreed between the
students and the lecturer.
Please remember that you are responsible for lodging your coursework on or before
the due date. We strongly recommend that you keep a copy. Even in the most
‘perfect’ of systems, items sometimes go astray.
Requests for extensions
Extensions will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds. Requests for
extensions should be made via email to the lecturer prior to the due date. Medical
certificates or other evidence must be included (electronically or the hard copy
mailed) and must contain information which justifies the extension sought.
Penalties
Late assignments which have not been granted an extension will, at the lecturer’s
discretion, be penalised by deducting ten per cent of total marks for each day
overdue. Assignments submitted more than five days late will normally not be
accepted by the lecturer.
Failure to adhere with the WH&S standards whilst taking part in any
assessed activity that involves field trips and/or that requires the use of
UTAS or AMC facilities will result in the following penalties:
•
first offense - 5% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team projects);
•
second offense by student (or another member of the same team in
team projects) - 20% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team
projects); and
•
third offense - a fail grade in the assessment.

JEE220 Mechanics of Solids
Review of results and appeals
If you have questions about, or problems with, your assessment you should discuss
this with the following people:
(1) The person who marked the assessment.
(2) Unit Coordinator.
(3) Course Coordinator.
(4) Deputy Director (Students and Education), NCMEH.
(5) Director, NCMEH.
If this does not resolve the issue, you may file a formal appeal. The procedure is
given at: http://www.utas.edu.au/exams/results
Academic referencing
In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly
literature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to
correctly refer to the work of others, and how to maintain academic integrity.
Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academic
dishonesty (plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a
serious offence.
The University library provides information on presentation of assignments,
including referencing styles and should be referred to when completing tasks in this
unit: http://utas.libguides.com/referencing
Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification
please see your unit coordinator or lecturer.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's
thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for
example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation
marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper
acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work.
If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your
assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing
guidelines. You may also find the Academic Honesty site on MyLO of
assistance: https://mylo.utas.edu.au/d2l/home/83246
The intentional copying of someone else’s work as one’s own is a serious
offence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or
deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, to
exclusion from a unit, a course or the University.
Page 8
JEE220 Mechanics of Solids
The University and any persons authorised by the University
may submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking
service, to obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism.
Assessable works may also be included in a reference database.
It is a condition of this arrangement that the original author’s
permission is required before a work within the database can
be viewed.
For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see
http://www.utas.edu.au/students/learning/academic-integrity or the Academic
Honesty site on MyLO.
Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to
copy work for an assignment or an examination, and any other conduct by which a
student:
a. seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantage
or advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or
b. improperly disadvantages any other student.
Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the
Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that
range from a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the
University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in Ordinance 9:
Student Discipline – Part 3 Academic Misconduct.
