Could have used that a couple of years ago when I was at uni. Refreshing though, thanks.

Hey Astronuc,

Those are very good finds!, especially where it says: "the math you need to know", students should check out that, before learning the material.

I agree. It certainly helps to see the layout and the background needed. It might help students to understand the relevancy of the math they are taking in preparation for the engineering courses.

this is incredible. thanks a lot
 

FAQ: STRENGTH OF MATERIALS (Mech E Tutorial)

1. What is Strength of Materials?

Strength of Materials is a branch of mechanical engineering that deals with the study of the behavior of solid objects under various types of loading and deformation. It is a fundamental concept in engineering and is used to determine the structural integrity and safety of different materials.

2. What are the main types of stresses in Strength of Materials?

The main types of stresses in Strength of Materials are tensile stress, compressive stress, shear stress, and bending stress. Tensile stress is a pulling force that causes a material to elongate, while compressive stress is a pushing force that causes a material to shorten. Shear stress is the force parallel to the cross-sectional area of a material, and bending stress is the force that causes a material to bend or flex.

3. How is Strength of Materials used in real-world applications?

Strength of Materials is used in a variety of real-world applications such as designing buildings, bridges, and other structures, as well as in the design of machinery and vehicles. It is also used in material selection for different applications, such as choosing the appropriate material for a specific load-bearing component.

4. What are the factors that affect the strength of a material?

The strength of a material is affected by various factors, including the material's composition, microstructure, and processing techniques. Other factors that can influence the strength of a material include temperature, loading rate, and the presence of defects or imperfections.

5. How is the strength of a material tested?

The strength of a material is typically tested through destructive and non-destructive testing methods. Destructive testing involves subjecting a material to various loads until it fails, while non-destructive testing uses techniques such as ultrasound, x-ray, and magnetic particle testing to evaluate a material's strength without causing damage to it.
