What will I learn?

You will learn to analyse axial, shear, bending, and torsional loads in structural members using proven engineering formulas. The course covers shear force and bending moment diagrams, the flexure formula, transverse shear stress, and stress transformation with Mohr's Circle. You will also compute beam deflections, evaluate column buckling with Euler's formula, and apply multiaxial failure criteria to ductile and brittle materials. Supplementary topics include pressure vessel analysis, energy methods, and an introduction to finite element concepts. By the end, you will have the quantitative skills to analyse and design real structural components with confidence.

Develop skills

  • Stress and Strain Analysis: Calculate normal and shear stress in axially loaded structural members.
  • Beam Bending Design: Apply the flexure formula to size beams for safe bending strength.
  • Torsion and Shaft Sizing: Compute shear stress and angle of twist for power-transmitting shafts.
  • Failure Theory Application: Use von Mises and Tresca criteria to predict yielding under combined loads.

What our students say

Your classes are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...
