The basics we all learned but could use a refresher. We will also tackle more advanced subjects.

Torsion in Rectangular Prism

Torsion in Rectangular Prism I hope to expand on this post in the future and relate the equations that are derived for find stresses and strains of a rectangular prism (bar) to that of an I shaped section. Then relating…

Mechanics of Materials – Basics

Mechanics of Materials – Basics I would like to describe the process or logic or algorithm if you will in which must be followed in order to develop theories for mechanics of materials.  The process / logic / algorithm can go in…
