I am a Full Professor of Mechanical Engineering with 30 years of experience in areas such as Strength of Materials, Stability, Physics (Kinematics and Dynamics), Statics, Elasticity, Solid Mechanics, Machine Elements, Stress Analysis, Structures and Advanced Materials Mechanics . I emphasize teaching through problem solving and practical applications. The Strength of Materials classes include topics such as: Stress analysis. Axial load, bending, Torsion, Transverse load, Combined stresses, Stress transformation, Energy methods, Calculation of deflections in beams, statically indeterminate problems, buckling, shear center, compound bending and asymmetric bending, Castigliano's theorem, Mohr's method , Virtual work, Creep and Fracture Criteria, etc.
