Materials Degradation in Mechanical Design: Wear, Corrosion, Fatigue, and Their Interactions Web Course RePlay

Materials degradation from environmental conditions is a common factor that will often occur in mechanical equipment used in every type of environment. These processes can frequently materialize in unpredicted and harmful ways, especially when they interact and lead to early component damage or failure. Captured from five, two-hour sessions, this course summarizes the mechanisms that cause materials and mechanical components to degrade in service through exposure to deleterious mechanical and environmental conditions.

FEA Beyond Basics: Nonlinear Analysis Web Course RePlay

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been an indispensable tool for design simulation for several decades but this wide spread use has been limited to simple types of analyses. Relatively recently, more advanced analyses have given easy-to-use interfaces enabling design engineers to simulate problems formerly reserved for analysts. FEA Beyond Basics targets the FEA users who wish to explore those advanced analysis capabilities. It will demonstrate how to move past the ubiquitous linear structural analysis and solve structural nonlinear problems characterized by nonlinear material, large displacements, buckling or nonlinear connectors.

Materials to Electrodes

This course provides a deep yet simple explanation of the operational principles of a rechargeable battery. The course spotlights the importance and discusses the fundamentals of the ‘electrochemical cell’ which is the heart of any battery system independent of the storage size. A direct link is set forth between the chemical nature of the cell components and the storage properties of interest such as ‘electromotive force’ and gravimetric & volumetric capacities. Specific attention is directed towards lithium-ion batteries by presenting more details about the materials of choice for the anode/cathode together with their synthesis methods.

Adhesives Bundle

Manufacturers increasingly rely on adhesives to assemble a variety of products, such as cars, computers, furniture, and toys. An adhesive is a substance used to join two or more materials. Adhesive bonding is the process of placing an adhesive between two surfaces, or substrates, and allowing it to harden, or cure. Structural adhesives are most commonly used in adhesive bonding, since they can easily withstand heavy loads. Epoxies, anaerobics, acrylics, silicones, urethanes, and cyanoacrylates are commonly used structural adhesives. These courses explain the fundamental concepts of adhesive bonding as they apply to product assembly.
