Description

Professional Mechanics of Materials & Structural Mechanics is a highly practical professional course that adopts the learning model of the Advanced Manufacturing. Here, you will understand the physics of how materials behave in different states. The main highlight is that all behaviors can be expressed in the simplest language! Even if you don't have any physical basis, you will find out what causes the deformation, bending, torsion, buckling, strengthening, failure, fracture, fatigue, etc. of these materials. There are a lot more. After studying this course, you can also think like a professional engineer, as we provide 4 exciting guided working example applications that are very close to actual engineering cases, which will make you more flexible when choosing design solutions. Here, you don't need to memorize a lot of complicated calculation formulas, instead, as long as you understand the most basic laws of Newton's mechanics, all problems can be solved according to my thinking, isn't it amazing? In each calculation process, I will explain in detail the assumptions required for each calculation step, so that you can easily judge the formula and applicability. This course can also be used as a supplementary preview or review material for Statics, Solid Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Mechanics, etc. in university-level undergraduate or MSc courses.The outline of this course is as follows:Chapter 1: (10 lectures, 1 quiz, 1 pdf handout)Mechanics of Materials: Core PrinciplesChapter 2: (10 lectures, 1 quiz, 1 pdf handout)Beam MechanicsChapter 3: (6 lectures, 1 quiz, 1 pdf handout)Structural MechanicsChapter 4: (6 lectures, 1 quiz, 1 pdf handout)Principal Stress and Failure CriteriaChapter 5: (1 quiz)Course Wrap-up
