“Mechanics of Materials” is the study of the relationship between the external loads and internal forces experienced by any structure. The magnitude of the internal force at a point in the structure can be quantified as “stress.” In this course, we introduce stress in tensor format first, followed by how and why the stress tensor is transformed to principal stress and equivalent stress. We also discuss the balance of the internal forces, which leads to local equilibrium, which is the basic governing equation in stress analysis. Understanding local equilibrium gives us a good foundation to study the computational simulation of stress analysis.

A course completion badge allows you to showcase your success. We partner with Credly’s Acclaim platform, and digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes and social media sites. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in our course and the topics and skills that were covered. This badge is for successfully completing the Stress and Local Equilibrium course.
