Before you start
There are no specific prerequisites for this TLP, but it would be useful to be familiar with stress and strain, elastic strain and Plastic deformation, Young modulus, E and yield stress, σY. While a basic knowledge of mechanical deformation is assumed, this teaching and learning package covers all the fundamentals of beam mechanics.
