Mechanics of deformable Structures Part 1

Offered by

Certificate

Mechanics of Deformable Structures Part 1

The course is a foundation course of the intermediate level for engineering students who want to build a stronghold on the basics of Mechanical engineering, including concepts of the strength of materials and the deformability of various structures and the constituent materials. The candidates will learn to predict the failure and the deformation in structures used to build mechanical structures, like elastic, viscoelastic and plastic elements.

The candidates will be taught the ways of analyzing structural assemblages of various types, using the equations of geometric compatibility, static equilibrium, and constitutive material response. The Mechanics of Deformable Structures: Part 1 programme is the second course of a series having three parts, and this part is specially designed to give an introduction to the behaviour of viscoelasticity of a deformable structure, i.e. over the course of time. 

The objective of the programme also covers the pattern in which a structure changes if the load applied exceeds the permissible ability of the elastic limit, known as the plasticity of the material. In the end, a candidate will be able to apply analytical methods and perform calculations related to the subject.

A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations

The Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations programme is problem-based, and candidates will learn by doing. They will be using a powerful and versatile tool from ANSYS, Inc. to perform engineering simulations. They will be using a common approach to solve problems that involve different branches of Physics (structural mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics). The programme focuses on moving beyond garbage-in, and garbage-out, and understanding what is under the black-box.

Learners will be solving textbook examples to understand the fundamentals of computational fluid dynamics and finite-element analysis. They will then put these principles into practice and simulate real-world examples (a wind turbine rotor and a bolted rocket assembly).

By working with real-world examples and using a leading simulation tool used by professionals, the Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations training will help learners move beyond button pushing and encourage them to start thinking like experts. Cornell University developed the Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations online course in collaboration with the ANSYS Corporation. Therefore, all learners will be able to download and use ANSYS Student for free.

Learners may enroll in the self-paced course for free or pay a small amount. If they want to learn the course for free they may opt for the audit track where limited access is given. On the other hand, if they want unlimited course access they may get admission using the verified track for which they may have to pay a small amount.

Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 3 Time Dependent Behavior and Failure

Offered by

Certificate

Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 3 Time Dependent Behavior and Failure

Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 3: Time-Dependent Behavior and Failure certification course serve as an introduction to the topic of mechanical behavior of materials that are related both to an atomistic and continuum point of view.  At the atomistic level, the students will learn about the various mechanical properties related to materials and at the continuum level the participants will be exploring the displacement and forces that are translated to strain and stress distributions insisted on the material. In the course, the examples are drawn from- biomaterials, glasses, ceramic, polymers, cellular materials, and composites. In the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 3: Time-Dependent Behavior and Failure by edX the students will be covering viscosity, creep in crystalline materials, plasticity, fatigue, and brittle fracture in detail. A continuation of the series, this program by edX will be helping the students to study more about- dynamic mechanical measurement and hardening mechanisms in a comprehensive manner in the six-week-long Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 3: Time-Dependent Behavior and Failure online course.

Mechanical Behavior of Materials Part 1 Linear Elastic Behavior

Offered by

Certificate

Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Part 1: Linear Elastic Behavior

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.

Introduction to Haptics

Offered by

Certificate

Introduction to Haptics

Haptic devices are mechanical devices that let the users feel, touch, and control objects in remote or virtual environments. The Introduction to Haptics certification course aims to teach you about haptic technology in detail. You will develop a sense of awareness about the abilities and weaknesses of the human touch, along with learning how to build these mechatronic devices.

Through the learnings of the Introduction to Haptics online programme, you will acquire pragmatic cross-disciplinary engineering skills connected to mechanical engineering, bioengineering, robotics, computer science, and electrical engineering. This course developed by Stanford Online will help you comprehend the linkage between equations that explain physical interplay and how they feel.

The Introduction to Haptics training also offers online quizzes to test your understanding of the concepts. You also have the option to participate in laboratory assignments by using/building a ‘Hapkit.’ This practical approach will give you hands-on experience in testing haptic projects, making circuits, and putting mechanical systems together. 

Edx offers 2 varied tracks which can be used to opt into the course and then they shall be given access either for a limited period of time or the access offered may be unlimited. In the case where the students want unlimited access, they will have to choose the verified track and where they want limited access for free they will have to select the audit track.

Delft University of Technology via Edx
Certificate

Efficient Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

The Efficient HVAC Systems certification by the Delft University of Technology via edX is a 5-week online course. This online certification course explores different steps of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) that help engineers come up with a proper design while collaborating with the architect. The Efficient HVAC Systems certification syllabus at Delft University of Technology via edX will provide learners with an understanding of how to distribute heat and cold with the help of air and water systems, what are the temperature levels to be used in both and how that relates to the type of energy supply and the thermal quality of the building construction.

The Efficient HVAC Systems online course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems where participants can learn to design buildings with low energy demand and choose low carbon energy supply while being able to determine if this will lead to a liveable indoor environment. The development of the Efficient HVAC Systems certification by the Delft University of Technology via edX is supported by Climate-KIC and includes two types of enrollment options - Verified Track and Audit Track. Students can enroll in the free audit track that has limited access or they can easily upgrade to the paid verified track directly.
