Extenuating Circumstances
If there are any exceptional circumstances that may have affected your ability to undertake or submit this assignment, make sure you contact the Advice Centre on your campus prior to your submission deadline.
Fit to sit policy:
The University operates a fit to sit policy whereby you, in submitting or presenting yourself for an assessment, are declaring that you are fit to sit the assessment. You cannot subsequently claim that your performance in this assessment was affected by extenuating factors.
Plagiarism and Unfair Practice Declaration:
By submitting this assessment, you declare that it is your own work and that the sources of information and material you have used (including the internet) have been fully identified and properly acknowledged as required . Additionally, the work presented has not been submitted for any other assessment. You also understand that the Faculty reserves the right to investigate allegations of plagiarism or unfair practice which, if proven, could result in a fail in this assessment and may affect your progress.
Intellectual Property and Retention of Student Work:
You understand that the University will retain a copy of any assessments submitted electronically for evidence and quality assurance purposes; requests for the removal of assessments will only be considered if the work contains information that is either politically and/or commercially sensitive (as determined by the University) and where requests are made by the relevant module leader or dissertation supervisor.
Details of Submission:
Note that all work handed in after the submission date and within 5 working days will be capped at 40% . No marks will be awarded if the assessment is submitted after the late submission date unless extenuating circumstances are applied for and accepted (Advice Centre to be consulted).
You are required to acknowledge that you have read the above statements by writing your student number(s) in the box:

Part B: Marking and Assessment
(to be completed by Module Lecturer)
Assessment Task:
Figure 1 shows the proposed design of a hook and pulley system for industrial applications.
Figure 1 Proposed Hook and pulley design (source learnrich.com/crane-hook)
Carry out a two dimensional analysis of the hook to determine the stress distribution under load. The load applied should be 1000N plus the last 3 digits of your enrolment number (i.e. Enrolment number 16005678 – 678 + 1000 = 1678N load). Assume a suitable thickness for the hook using the given data. Using the stress results as a basis – explain the justification for the three dimensional cross section used for the actual hook in Figure 1.
The hook is made from Alloy Steel with the following properties:
Young's modulus of elasticity, E 210GN/m2
Poisson's ratio, ν 0.28
Tensile strength, Suts 724MN/m2
Elastic strength, Sy 620MN/m2
Submit a report of your analysis giving justification for any assumption made in the analysis. Review the results obtained and critically analyse the results. Do not submit a "How to…. in Ansys" guide and there is no need to provide an "Introduction to FEA"
Learning Outcomes to be assessed (as specified in the validated module):
1. analyse and solve a range of engineering problems using finite element software
2. demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of finite element analysis

Assessment Criteria
Performance Level Criteria
Fail
(< 40%) Poorly defined analysis with no coherent explanation of the modelling done or results obtained. No evidence of understanding of the finite element procedure and of the results obtained.
3rd Class / PASS
(40% - 49%) Analysis carried out with limited understanding demonstrated of the finite element process. Results presented with limited explanation as to their meaning.
Lower 2nd Class / PASS
(50% - 59%) Evidence of some understanding of the finite element modelling process. The presentation of relevant results with a limited explanation of what has been obtained.
Upper 2nd Class / MERIT
(60% - 69%) Evidence of good understanding of the finite element modelling process. A good presentation of relevant results with explanation of what has been obtained.
1st Class / DISTINCTION
(70% +) Clear evidence of understanding of the finite element process with good detail and justification of the steps taken. A comprehensive review of the results with evidence of some critical analysis.
