There are 10 MCQs for each student from
a question bank of ~60 questions. Some
MCQs may need simple calculations.
Each MCQ weighs 1.5%.
Chapter 6 - 10
Stress–strain sample question
A cylindrical copper specimen with a diameter of 10 mm and a
length of 100 mm is pulled in tension. If diameter reduction is
0.0025 mm and the deformation is entirely elastic. Determine the
applied load. E = 110 GPa.
In the exam questions, we would provide you data that are more
than enough for your calculations
There are 7 large questions, which comprise 17 sub-questions,
for calculations and derivation of formulas.
Chapter 6 - 11
Mechanical properties from - plot
• Young’s modulus, Hooke’s law
• Elastic deformation, plastic deformation
• Yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002 (0.2%)
• Tensile strength, maximum load
• Change in length under a specific stress
• Ductility
• Elastic strain
• Toughness
• Modulus of resilience
Students have to fully understand all fundamental concepts learnt in the UoS.

Summary
• The final exam contains two parts:
MCQs and calculation/derivation questions
• 10 MCQs (1.5 pts each) from a question bank of ~ 60 questions
• 7 calculation/derivation questions containing 17 sub-questions
(85 pts with 5 pts per question in average)
• Mechanical properties (Chapters 6, 8, 12, 15, & 16) weigh 70%
