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.

He taught the pressure vessel very nicely and Inelastic torsion marvelously.

Large content and best presentation.

thanks

Very nicely designed course for the design mechanical engineers to understand the concepts of stresses, strains, principal stresses in thin cylinders and shafts. Sound foundation of these concepts really help in designing of mechanical components like pressure vessels and machine shafts. Dr. Wayne Whiteman explained all these concepts in very simple and lucid manner. Thank you Sir.

This is really a very good course for civil, mechanical, aerospace, and other working professional and students who work with physical structure. The concepts are explained so beautifully with real-world examples. I think this can be extended to torsion in the thin cell and all using the shear flow which is most important in aerospace. Thanks, Coursera and professor.

Greetings from Guatemala!

This course explains effectively the principles of torsion and thin-walled pressure vessels. The examples are very clear and well-thought. It is a great way to refresh some knowledge or strengthen concepts, specially for civil or mechanical engineers.

Its very useful to revise the fundamentals to engage ourselves technically with the academics.

As a design engineer i really love this coursework to practice quiz and improve our problem solving skills.

It's an amazing course, you are going to learn torsion stress and concentrated load in an axis on circular elements. I hope you want to enroll it. I really recommend it.

The course is great. While I think its pace could be slower, as sometimes I need to repeat the video to completely understand the mathematic process.
