Course Overview

The Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 2: Stress Transformations, Beams, Columns, and Cellular Solids course is a four-week, intermediate-level training. The course curriculum focuses on enlightening the students about the atomistic and continuum aspects of mechanical characteristics of different materials. It is part of a three-course series by MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

The instructors on this course will be faculty members of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. It will prove to be an excellent learning opportunity for the participating candidates. Additionally, the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 2 online course houses a comprehensive curriculum. It includes stress transformations, column buckling, beam bending, and cellular materials, among others.

The Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 2 course by edX will take metals, glasses, polymers, ceramics, biomaterials, and cellular materials into consideration. The instructors will use relevant examples to make the learning experience more rewarding. Besides, this edX course has a self-directed training model but offers only limited access during the audit track and unlimited access to the course materials when the verified track is selected.

MIT Cambridge Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1: Can I join this edX program?

The course is open for individuals who understand university-level Chemistry, differential equations, and classical mechanics. Having learned Part 1 of the series is also a requirement for this MOOC. However, knowing the elastic behaviour concepts of materials is sufficient.

2: Which is Part 1 of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials course?

Part 1 of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials series is “Linear Elastic Behavior.” It happens to be a requirement for pursuing the second part of the series.

3: Is it necessary to pursue the first part of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials series?

No. An understanding of the elastic behaviour of materials is a must for the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 2 course. If you have pursued a course equivalent to Part 1 of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials series, you need not take the first one.

4: What are the installment options available for this program?

The Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 2 course is free of charge program, so it does not have installment options.
