Lecture

Structural Mechanics: Understanding Structures' Behavior under Loads

Description

This lecture introduces the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics, focusing on how structures react to loads based on their geometry and material properties. Topics covered include internal stresses, strains, and structural failure. Practical examples involve designing robotic hands, measuring turgor pressure in bacteria, and analyzing arterial stresses in aneurysms.
