Mechanics of Materials I Fundamentals of Stress & Strain and Axial Loading
This course explores the topic of solid objects subjected to stress and strain. The methods taught in the course are used to predict the response of engineering structures to various types of loading, and to analyze the vulnerability of these structures to various failure modes. Axial loading with be the focus in this course.——————————

Reviews
This course was very useful for all the students as the professor taught in an easy understandable way to know the concepts and able to learn problem solving skills
I had a pleasure in learning with georgia tech. They povided a good platform for learning through online.
thanking to the professor for spending there time for teaching .
A very useful course for getting a strong foundation in strength of materials course. Definitely recommend to all who wants to learn it. Looking forward to future courses. Dr. Whiteman is outstanding.
in this particular course i get to learn about axial loading on engineering structures,elements and the calculation of stress strain fos so on.....
Thank you very much for such an amazing course.
