Course Description

This course begins with the theory of solid mechanics, including tensor analysis, principal stresses / strains, Hooke’s Law, and Viscoelasticity. Towards the end of the course, we will consider bending analysis and beam design, which is one of the most common applications in structural engineering.

Objective

The participant will gain an understanding of the theory of stress and strain analysis, the elements of which are taken from graduate courses on solid mechanics being offered at Canadian universities. This course will equip the participant with skills in beam design and selection, which are key skills that a structural or mechanical engineer needs in the industry.

Target Audience

The target audience for this course is mechanical and civil engineers looking to build an understanding in structural engineering in order to diversify their career or upgrade their skills in this area. Additionally, this course might motivate the engineers to take up graduate studies or research in the field of solid mechanics.

Level of Course

This course is intermediate.

Learning Objectives

Perform Eigen Value calculations for determining principal stresses and select beams with required strength in industrial or construction applications.

Special Features

This course has both academic and hands-on content, so it should appeal to a wide group of engineering professionals

Material(s) Required
