sir please change the answering time .make it once a week . if we should attend the question thrice every 8 hour if all of you easy to get certificate but their listening skills are not improve. so please change it and make a once a week or 3 times only for the course

The course is fantastic as expected from Professor Dr Whiteman, This part contains bit of more calculus, and good that the modules can be repeated by playing the video again for more clear understanding. i have taken the other courses made be professor, they give crystal clear explanation of the concept. Thanks to Professor.

Professor, we are waiting for the next set of courses from your colleague in Machine Design, looking forward for those courses too.

Nice course for engineering personal, whether student or professional. It would have been great, if von mises theory explained more, but no problem as one can manage to learn from other souses.

Thanks to Dr Wayne Whiteman, for efforts in making such series of courses specially application in engg mechanics, and these Mechanics of Material - I to IV. After learning form these modules, the mechanics problem solving capability improves significantly.

Dear Dr. Whiteman,

I just want to thank you for all courses of mechanics of materials which you offer through Coursera platform. This was a nice course and I really help me at work and the rest of courses of structural analysis which I will take. However, I would have loved which Georgia Tech can offer some courses about civil engineering like concrete technology, etc.

Best Wishes,

AIVZ

Thanking your effort on delivering the six courses on solid mechanics which are fundamental to mechanical and civil engineering. Really helpful in understanding the fundamentals and where to apply the principles what covered which is very important for an engineer. Once again thanking you and your team for fantastic effort.

Excellent Course! It would be awesome to have more advanced topics covered in future courses if it's ever in your plans. i.e. Lateral Torsional Buckling, Strain Energy, Fatigue, Composite Material Failure Theories, Anisotropic Materials, Local stresses due to bolts, bolt groups, etc. You are the man!

Clearly explained, easy to follow and generally interesting. I didn't do any of the precursor courses, more to do this as a refresher on structural mechanics. I thought this was well presented, I appreciated the use of real world examples and I liked the teaching style.

This course helped me understand the different loading and their effects on the structure. what are the loading condition to be applied in design consideration for the safety of the structure. Instructor has taught very nicely. Grateful that I completed this course.

Real application problems solved by the Course instructor is very useful. Awesome teaching.

Concepts are made clear. One has to practice and is very much useful, especially when doing Capstone project for the undergraduate students.

I like the way this entire series of MoM is presented. I have learned a whole lot of things. Now I can imagine the load's, stresses but the amazing part is that now I have tools to get accurate values too.
