ENGT5258 Advanced Solid Mechanics: Creep and Fatigue Coursework I

This assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of creep and fatigue in the context of advanced solid mechanics. It addresses stress relaxation, creep rupture strength, factors affecting creep, and various fatigue life methods, including the fatigue crack growth method, nominal stress-life method, and local strain-life method. The document includes calculations related to pressure vessels, fatigue life estimations using Miner's rule, and safety factor determinations based on Gerber and Goodman criteria. It also discusses stress concentration and its impact on fatigue life. The solutions are supported by relevant formulas and diagrams, providing a detailed understanding of the concepts and their applications.
