IR Engineer Education Research Institute will host a public seminar where participants can comprehensively review fundamental concepts of materials mechanics, from the idea of stress-strain diagrams to shear force, torsion, internal forces (SFD/BMD) of beams, and deflection, all through exercises. Participants can also ask questions to the instructor on the spot.
Even strong and flexible metals can fail due to repeated loads like vibrations. To prevent accidents, a solid understanding of stress-strain concepts, torsion, shear force, and beam mechanics, which form the basis of strength calculations, is essential. However, many working professionals find themselves confused by the gap between mechanical engineering learned in school and the applications required in companies, and seek opportunities for review. This course is offered as an opportunity to reorganize the fundamentals of materials mechanics from a practical perspective.
## Seminar Overview
* **Course Name:** Materials Mechanics for Professionals (Mechanical Engineering for Professionals ①)
* **Format:** Online via Zoom
* **Date/Time:** June 25, 2026 (Thursday) 10:00 - 17:00
* **Fee:** 39,600 JPY / person (tax included)
* **Instructor:** Takanori Kondo (Representative of Kondo Engineering House, Professional Engineer (Mechanical Engineering))
## Course Details
This course reorganizes the fundamentals of materials mechanics from the perspective of "practical use." After covering stress and elongation (shear force, stress-strain diagrams), it deals with torsion (relationship between torsional torque T and θ, torsional shear force in round bars and cylinders), and then expands to "forces acting on beams." A comprehensive review of internal forces of beams, shear force diagrams (SFD), bending moment diagrams (BMD), stress and strain, and deflection will be conducted with exercise problems. Furthermore, as a historical case, the "Comet aircraft" that suffered a series of crashes in the 1950s will be examined, and the causes of the accidents will be analyzed using knowledge of materials mechanics. This will confirm how the learned content connects to real-world engineering problems.
