Structural Mechanics of Materials: Part I

By the end of this first short course, you will be equipped with the fundamental tools to confidently mark out the load path and reactions required to start all of your designs the right way. These key points will form the foundation of your understanding of how structures behave under given loading.

The main focus of this course is to introduce you to the concept of equilibrium by using real world examples of connections and supports to really highlight what the loads would not only like to do, but what we could design them to do.

I have designed this course for engineers early in their career that are looking to take their knowledge of structural mechanics to the next level, but don’t have the time to sift through textbooks looking for the relevant facts, or are struggling to get enough actual site time while being stuck in the office all day. We're looking to bridge the gap from graduate to senior engineer in as short a time as possible.

The main items we'll focus on in this course are:

• The origins and purpose of mechanics

• Equilibrium

• The different support and connection types (with real world examples)

• Free body diagrams

We'll focus not only on the theory, but also real world considerations that are not often found in the text books alone.

This course has been specifically designed to give value to you, the student, and lifetime access means you will receive all future updates and additions free of charge.

If you are not 100% sure this course is for you, feel free to take a look around. If you are not convinced, there is a 30 day money back guarantee with no hard feelings or questions asked.

Thanks for taking the time to view this course, and I hope to see you in there!
