Course Overview

Offered by the Department of Material Science and Engineering at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, Part 1: Linear Elastic Behaviour by Edx will give you all the knowledge on the behaviour of various materials. The course provides both the atomistic and continuum view in this regard.

Deep diving further, the continuum view will focus on how materials get stressed due to forces and displacements, and the atomistic view will focus on ways to control the mechanical properties of materials. The Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, Part 1 certification syllabus, is taught using various examples extracted from polymers, metals, ceramics and more.

Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, Part 1 online course is taught by two experienced faculty members, namely Lorna J. Gibson and Jessica Sandland. They are both well-versed in the field of science and technology. Furthermore, the course is categorised under the field of engineering and provides free enrolment. The candidates may enrol in this course for free or by paying a certain amount of money. There are 2 tracks namely verified or audit track which offers direct access to the course materials. If the candidates opt for the verified mode they are entitled to receive unlimited access and if they opt for the audit access, they will receive only limited access to the course materials.
