What will I learn?
This beginner course builds practical skills in mechanics of materials, teaching you to choose trustworthy material data, understand stress-strain curves, and confidently apply safety factors. Master basic beam theory, bending and shear stresses, deflection calculations, strain formulas, and safety margin checks. End up able to clearly document your assumptions and suggest cost-effective design enhancements for everyday structures.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Select steel material data: pick E, yield strength, and note sources quickly.
- Analyse beams: sketch shear and moment diagrams and spot max bending stress.
- Calculate deflection: use cantilever formulas, check units, and meet service limits.
- Assess safety: match stress to yield, use safety factors, and gauge risks.
- Suggest fast fixes: adjust shape, material, or add stiffeners to reduce deflection.
