Structural integrity: predicting and assessing performance (T367): section 1
-
This quiz is intended to help you assess whether you have the necessary background knowledge and skills to successfully study T367 Structural integrity: predicting and assessing performance. There are 30 questions divided into two sections covering relevant maths and engineering topics.
You can have up to three attempts at each question, with most questions offering hints after an incorrect attempt. The mark you are awarded will depend on how many attempts you needed to get to the correct answer. These marks are for your own guidance and will not be used for any other purpose. Some questions have several variants so you can repeat the quiz, or individual questions, as many times as you want to if there is a particular area where you need more practice.
When you have finished the quiz and submitted your answers you will get an overall mark and some feedback giving advice on whether or not you are suitably prepared to start T367.
The format for entering mathematical answers can vary between questions, make sure you read the instructions carefully to see what is expected. Unless stated otherwise, you should use the notation described below. Note that you may sometimes get an error message while you are entering your answer, but this will disappear once you have entered the whole answer, provided your syntax is correct. Note that the input is case-sensitive, so the variable ‘Y’ is different from the variable ‘y’.
