This course explores the topic of solid objects subjected to stress and strain. The methods taught in the course are used to predict the response of engineering structures to various types of loading, and to analyze the vulnerability of these structures to various failure modes. Axial loading with be the focus in this course. ------------------------------ The copyright of all content and materials in this course are owned by either the Georgia Tech Research Corporation or Dr. Wayne Whiteman.

The course is very good, and well thought through. For future students perhaps you could get the professor to redo the videos in which he mis-spoke. otherwise its been a good experiencethanks.
GB
Excellent course, it gives a powerful initiation on one of the most important topics for Mechanical Engineers. The videos are didactic and the professor makes all the concepts easy to understand.

I had a pleasure in learning with georgia tech. They povided a good platform for learning through online.thanking to the professor for spending there time for teaching .
ST
in this particular course i get to learn about axial loading on engineering structures,elements and the calculation of stress strain fos so on.....Thank you very much for such an amazing course.
SS
It's a wonderful platform to learn various online courses I'm utilizing my time through this Coursera.Thanks to Coursera for providing online education with a certificate.
NT
explicit and an easy methodology to proves and question analysis. Dr. Witeman really made the course so easy, looking forward to mechanics of materials II.
PT
this is course is really helpful for me. Sir you really amazing and great. Hats of to your teaching. due to your teaching my fear about this subject gone. thanku so much sir. thank you coursera.
DM
Marvelous instructor, he arranged the topic in very excellent way and explained it nicely.Most important coursera teaching method is very good. Here they write on virtual board instead of using PPT.
NG
This course was very useful for all the students as the professor taught in an easy understandable way to know the concepts and able to learn problem solving skills
RR
A very useful course for getting a strong foundation in strength of materials course. Definitely recommend to all who wants to learn it. Looking forward to future courses. Dr. Whiteman is outstanding.
D
Loved the way Dr Whiteman taught. Even though he was swift in teaching, I could grasp every concept in the first go itself. Thank You, Dr Whiteman! Good day :)
ST
I've already learned this course when I was in college, but I was surprised about how good Dr. Whiteman's explanations are! It was like learning things a whole lot better! Thank you so much!

Learning with practical problems is a great experience. It made me an wow experience to solve practical problems .Thank You Dr.Wayne Whiteman ,Georgia Tech and Coursera for happy learning experience.
I can not afford to unlock the quizzes and assignments but I did learn and really enjoy taking this course. Thanks, for allowing us to take it on audit!.
I am a Mechanical Engineer and like most of them engineers, I had very weak concepts of basics of Mechanical Engineering. Then I came across this series of courses from Dr. Whiteman and believe me or not, I have learned more from him than my 4 years at an engineering university. He has this amazing quality of delivering the concepts in a very easy, understandable way. I really want to thank Dr. Whiteman for designing this amazing course and Coursera for providing us the platform to learn. They are really serving the humanity and mankind.
As for Dr. Whiteman. I would say Thank you, Sir!!!!
You have my respect for the lifetime.
Very Nice Course
The course is very good, and well thought through. For future students perhaps you could get the professor to redo the videos in which he mis-spoke. otherwise its been a good experience
thanks.
Every module of this course was perfectly explained and i would recommend it for structural engineering/Civil Engineering students.
A good course and a good teacher to teach.
Clarity in Explanation and Concepts, Able to correlate to real time applications in the industry, Helpful for learners from all levels.
Dr. Wayne Whiteman, Teaching Method is great, he is amazing teacher.
Course material is great, it helps in concept building.
This is a great course to take for those who need a review of concepts learned during undergrad in engineering. I found it to be concise and informative, but it obviously does not replace a full-fledged in-class course. There are just too many important in-lab sessions and tutorials that you need to experience to understand the full-breadth of what's covered here.
If this isn't a review course for you, some may struggle to jump right into it and therefore it's important to go back and take the foundational courses the instructor points out as it is essential to understanding even some of the basic concepts covered in this course.
Lastly, I found the instructor to be organized and explains concepts in good detail without going into unnecessary tangents often experienced in a traditional learning environment.
I am very thankful to the entire team of coursera for making such valuable courses available online. It was really a great opportunity to learn the fundamental concepts of mechanics of solids from Dr. Whiteman. The course helped me significantly in shaping my own way of teaching the same course to undergraduate students. I am very impressed by the teaching of Dr. Whiteman. It was very helpful. Really enjoyed!
this is course is really helpful for me. Sir you really amazing and great. Hats of to your teaching. due to your teaching my fear about this subject gone. thanku so much sir. thank you coursera.
Help a lot in strengthening my basics. This course is recommended for every Structural engineering students. I got this course foe free with certifications,. Thank You Dr. Wayne Whiteman
very good course. it helped me build my basic for mechanics of materials and know in depth about stress and strains and physical world applications.
Had so much fun while learning. Thanks to Dr. Wayne Whiteman for being such a generous teacher. Best Regards - S.A Chowdhury
Excellent course for learning strength of material
Great instructor
The mistakes in numerical were very disturbing, as even though i was getting correct answers, the screen was showing something different. Other than that, I loved the course!
A very useful course for getting a strong foundation in strength of materials course. Definitely recommend to all who wants to learn it. Looking forward to future courses. Dr. Whiteman is outstanding.
