What will I learn?

This Beginner Mechanics of Materials Course gives you practical skills to select reliable material data, interpret stress–strain behavior, and apply safety factors with confidence. Learn simple beam theory, bending and shear stress, deflection and strain formulas, and how to check margins of safety. Finish ready to document assumptions clearly and propose effective, low-cost design improvements for real-world structures.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Select steel material data: choose E, yield strength, and document sources fast.
  • Analyze beams: draw shear and moment diagrams and locate peak bending stress.
  • Compute deflection: apply cantilever formulas, units, and serviceability limits.
  • Evaluate safety: compare stress to yield, apply safety factors, and judge risk.
  • Propose quick fixes: tweak geometry, material, or stiffeners to cut deflection.
