Statics and Strength of Materials
Statics and strength of materials can be confusing. For starters, statics revolves around equations made up of hieroglyphs, Greek letters and math functions that all equal nothing but are used to solve for something. While there is certainly value in vector mechanics, ijk hat, and double integration, the core of statics and strength of materials can be done with an algebra-based approach. This page is dedicated to presenting resources to help you learn the core concepts behind statics and strength of materials using high-school level math.
This page provides free access to course resrouces covering major topics associated with statics and strength of materials. Mark developed these materials for a combined statics and strength of materials course. The following videos, pdfs, formula sheets, etc., provide a comprehensive look into the topics covered in this course. While it is certainly not an exhaustive list of information required to master statics and strength of materials, the fundamentals are presented in a way that is designed to build core competency through repitition and systematic advancement. We hope you'll join in to learn the fundamentals and use these skills in your professional career.
