Mechanics of Materials IV
Deflections, Buckling, Combined Loading & Failure Theories

Are you enrolled in Statics, Dynamics, or Mechanics of Materials in the spring term?

If you are taking Statics, Dynamics, or Mechanics of Materials/Strength of Materials in the spring term, I have some free classes on www.coursera.org that you may find useful in your studies.

Here are the links:

Statics-Part 1: https://www.coursera.org/learn/engineering-mechanics-statics

Statics-Part 2: https://www.coursera.org/learn/engineering-mechanics-statics-2

Dynamics-Part 1 (2D): https://www.coursera.org/learn/dynamics

Dynamics - Part 2 (3D): https://www.coursera.org/learn/motion-and-kinetics

Mechanics of Materials I: Fundamentals of Stress and Strain and Axial Loading: https://www.coursera.org/learn/mechanics-1

Mechanics of Material II: Thin walled Pressure Vessels and Torsion: https://www.coursera.org/learn/mechanics2

Mechanics of Materials III: Beam Bending: https://www.coursera.org/learn/beam-bending

Mechanics of Material IV: Deflections, Buckling, Combined Loading, and Failure Theories: https://www.coursera.org/learn/materials-structures

NOTE: - Yes, these courses are free! You can pay $49 for a certificate if you want, but it is in no way obligatory.

I hope you find this material useful. If so, please tell your friends about this resource.

I'm no master of mechanics of materials, but I think the assignment is basically about explaining the failure theory of materials based on planar stresses.

I don't have any references regarding failure theories, but perhaps this free video course might help you:

It was from a post made four days ago here:

Edit: Also, the keywords you might need to search are Failure Theory or Theories of Failure. You'd probably have more luck in finding what you need.
