Mechanics of Materials I
Fundamentals of Stress & Strain and Axial Loading

For those who may not be aware, my Mechanics of Materials: Part I course is now live (and free) on Coursera

I have some free classes on www.coursera.org that you may find useful in your studies. Hopefully you will find this one helpful for Poisson's ratio and Mohr's Circle:

​

I have several other courses as well if you are interested:

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 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.

COE 3001 Videos

Is it possible to get the COE 3001 videos by Dr. Whiteman without having to enroll in the online class? Because I am currently in COE 3001 with another professor and I want to watch the videos as we process threw the class.

-This is where the videos come from.

It is unfortunate, but it is okay to not know things. There were some things I didn't really understand until after I graduated and made an effort to figure it out.

If you want to follow up on this try this free course.

I'm studying for the FE as well. I don't think you need to go back to school, there's so many free resources and cheaper alternatives that you can use to self study. There are a bunch of free courses that you can take at your own pace to learn those core materials, such as:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/mechanics-1

There's also this professor that uploads his entire lectures on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGv3KG_qIWQuIZEH-YGpBUw/playlists

I found that these posts were the most helpful in my test preparation:

I would suggest that you take 3-4 practice exams while replicating the exam conditions (timed) before your next test. You will know if you'll be ready if you are scoring at least \~70% on your practice exams.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
