Learning Outcomes

  1. Explain how elastic stress and strain are related through Hooke’s law
  2. Predict, given Young’s modulus, the strain resulting from a given applied elastic stress, or vice versa
  3. Differentiate between strength, stiffness, and Young’s modulus
  4. Calculate engineering stress and engineering strain
  5. Illustrate how Young’s modulus is a structure independant property

Engineering stress and engineering strain | Engineering stress and engineering strain Scott Ramsay

This video covers an introduction to engineering stress & engineering strain. (Duration: 10:39)
Elastic Behaviour | Elastic Behaviour Scott Ramsay

This video introduces the elastic behaviour of materials including a basic treatment of the interatomic force separation curve and the atomic definition of Young's modulus. (Duration: 07:30)
But what is modulus, really? | But what is modulus, really? Scott Ramsay

In this video I attempt to provide an intuitive understanding of Young's modulus and along the way we come across another material property, the strength. (Duration: 09:24)

Introductory Chemistry from a Materials Perspective
Project Display Image:

This online course will take an applied materials science approach to teaching chemistry at the introductory level. Chemistry is a common first year requirement in most engineering programs. Increasingly an applied approach is being used to teach this subject: blending traditional chemistry topics with materials science. In this project we propose to create a new online course at a foundational level that will fulfill the requirements for introductory chemistry with a materials approach.
