Internal Forces

The internal forces that act within a material, resisting external loads. They are the forces that hold the material together and prevent it from breaking.

Section Properties

Properties related to the shape and size of a cross-section of a material, like its area or moment of inertia.

Internal Forces & Moments

Forces acting on a body, like a tension, compression or shear force, causing internal stresses.

Stress

The force distributed over an area, indicating how much force is acting on each unit of area.

Study Notes

Examination Details

  • Course: BENG (Hons) Mechanical Engineering, Level 6, Analysis of Materials and Structures
  • Exam Type: Phase Test, Sample Paper
  • Duration: 75 minutes
  • Instructions: Answer all six questions. Non-programmable calculators permitted.
  • Questions: Six questions are included on the exam (see details below for specific questions).

Question 3: Semiconductor Manufacturing

  • Objective: Identify parameters to control in semiconductor manufacturing for high yields, and potential failures if these parameters aren't controlled.
  • Key Parameters: High yield semiconductor manufacturing requires precise control across the entire wafer process (uniform processing from edge to edge), temperature, dopant levels (for diffusion/etching), temperature of doping stages, and uniform etching.
  • Potential Failures (Possible Consequences of Poor Control): Uniformity of processing is critical or yields will be lower, incorrect temperature or failing to control etching/diffusion leads to inconsistent results. Inconsistent doping stages may lead to incorrect doping levels and yields are affected.

Question 4: Electronic Device Manufacturing in Silicon

  • Objective: List main challenges (technological and economic) in manufacturing electronic devices on silicon.
  • Technological Challenges: Need for highly controlled processes across the entire wafer surface for high yields; control of temperature, etching, and pattern creation.
  • Economic Challenges: Well-controlled processes at large scale often require significant investment in expensive equipment for manufacturing electronic devices on silicon.

Question 5: Internal Forces in a Beam

  • Objective: Determine internal normal force, shear force, and moment at a specific point (point D) in a simply supported beam.
  • Context: A simply supported beam with an applied 5 kN force and distributed load along it's length.
  • Methods: Calculating internal forces and moments often involve using equilibrium equations (ΣF = 0) and (ΣM = 0)
