This free online statics course teaches how to assess and solve 2D and 3D statically determinate problems. The course consists of 72 tutorials which cover the material of a typical statics course (mechanics I) at the university level or AP physics.
These tutorials cover a range of material that, depending on where you go to school, might show up in either mechanics of materials 2 or structural analysis courses. A solid understanding of mechanics of materials is necessary to understand the topics presented here.
These 56 tutorials cover typical material from a second year mechanics of materials course (aka solid mechanics). A solid understanding of statics and calculus is necessary to properly learn and grasp the concepts of solid mechanics.
This course covers the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics with applications to marine, civil, and mechanical structures. Topics include analysis of small deflections of beams, moderately large deflections of beams, columns, cables, and shafts; elastic and plastic buckling of columns, thin walled sections and plates; exact and approximate methods; energy methods; principle of virtual work; introduction to failure analysis of structures. We will include examples from civil, mechanical, offshore, and ship structures such as the collision and grounding of ships.
