What will I learn?
This introductory course equips you with hands-on skills to pick trustworthy material data, understand stress-strain patterns, and use safety margins assuredly. Master basic beam principles, bending and shear stresses, deflection equations, and safety checks. End up able to record assumptions plainly and suggest practical, budget-friendly design tweaks for actual builds.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Select steel data: pick E, yield strength, and note sources swiftly.
- Analyse beams: sketch shear and moment diagrams, spot max bending stress.
- Calculate deflection: use cantilever equations, check units and limits.
- Assess safety: match stress to yield, factor in margins, gauge risks.
- Suggest fixes: adjust shape, material or add stiffeners to reduce deflection.
