Mechanics of Materials IV: Advanced Structural Analysis
Master advanced concepts in structural mechanics, including deflections, buckling, and failure theories.
Master advanced concepts in structural mechanics, including deflections, buckling, and failure theories.
This course, offered by Georgia Tech, is the fourth in a series on Mechanics of Materials. It focuses on advanced topics in structural analysis and design, including deflections of beams, column buckling, combined loading scenarios, and failure theories. Students will learn to analyze and design engineering structures considering these complex factors. The course covers methods for calculating deflections in beams, solving statically indeterminate beam problems, analyzing column buckling under various end conditions, and applying failure theories to real-world engineering problems. Through a combination of video lectures, readings, and quizzes, students will develop advanced problem-solving skills essential for structural engineering and design.
