Video – How to Use Tables to Calculate Stress Concentrations
We’ve talked a little about stress concentrations, but now let’s dig into how they are calculated. Using commonly available tables, we can determine what the factor is and how to calculate the stress of common situations.
Video – Calculating the Stress on a Pin Hole?
Stresses in pin holes have a unique stress distribution. Here we will learn the classical approach to this and why we can make this assumption.
Video-Working with Axial Stresses and Avoiding Stress Concentrations
Axial stress is generally what we think of when we first hear the word “Stress”. Let’s do a quick review on all that axial stress is.
Video-Stress and Strain: What is Their Importance?
Understanding how a material behaves is critical to how we design. Brittle materials like glass and chalk break suddenly, while ductile materials like steel will flex much more. Find out what causes this and how it is useful.
Video-Stress Flow Analysis – How Do We Design with It?
Strength of Materials is simply how a material reacts to various applied forces. As forces and moments are added to objects, we need to know how the the material reacts.
Good engineers can see this happening without doing FEA because they know how the material is going to react. Knowing how the stress flows can save tremendous time in the design process. Learning and practicing the material in this course will allow you to evaluate designs as you are designing them
We want you to be one of those engineers who can see stress flowing without FEA and sometimes hand calculations.
