Very useful and clearly explained of tension definition.

In this Specialization, you will learn some engineering principles that can be applied to structural systems everywhere: in nature, in furniture, in mechanical and aerospace systems, and in any solid object that resists a load. Together we’ll explore how structures work, why they were designed the way they were designed, how they support loads, and where forces flow through them. More specifically you will: Learn about funicular forms and how ropes and cables resist tension. Discuss how columns, arches, and anti-funicular forms resist compression. Discover how trusses, beams and walls resist loads. • Sketch the flow of forces through structures. Compare and contrast different structural forms and systems to answer a range of questions such as: Why might an engineer choose a beam over a truss? How do the dimensions of a structure affect its response? How do engineers choose forms and systems to create structures that are both elegant and functional?

Thank you once again for your commitment to education and for providing such a positive and impactful learning experience. I look forward to applying what I've learned and continuing to expand my knowledge in the future
This course has already met my expectation and much more! Now I have a very deep understanding of tension forces' behavior with respect to all the factors were mentioned in the course! Also, the section of the course that is related to bridges is awesome, it gave me the chance to apply all the principles I've learned on real world examples, this course is totally amazing. Special Thanks to Prof. Vicki May for such a clear, detailed and precise explanation.
The Experience of learning through this course was very excellent as its describe the about tensile forces and daily example related to it plus hands on practice and numerical calculation able me to solve such type of structures.
Great course. I'm still in high school so I was afraid if the quizzes will be too difficult or very time-consuming, but the whole course was not demanding and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in these topics.
Pretty excellent,helps to understand basic concepts of tension. And the example for the application on the bridge with its different type makes the lesson rich in knowledge.
Hello, thank you for your efforts in the course. It was very useful and beautiful. I hope you will always be healthy and happy. Mohammad Pakzad from Iran.

It was a great experience. The concept of 'tension' is explained excellently using some very common, real-life examples.
impresionante sistema docente. Una metodología de docencia muy sencilla sin restarle rigor científico. Muchas gracias.
