I know this isn’t a statics video but I just wanted to say that I flunked my first semester of statics and had to retake it this past semester. I started watching your video lessons the next semester and just found out that I passed with a B my second semester. Thank you!!!

Coolest professor ever. That Mclaren Vodafone shirt is so sick

[PatoPeca]

Good sir, I think I speak for majority of the people here: we desperately need the dynamics course. Personally, I don't have a lot of faith in my professor right now. Absolutely wonderful person but seems to be confused by the course.
On another note thank you for saving my butt on Statics! I hated that course with passion for the first half of the semester...loved it after found your videos

Brilliant, much love from a civil engineer from Morocco 🇲🇦🙏🏼

I was stuck under a stone trying to get back to studying but I was lost then I remembered your videosss, thanks man

The way you explained how the transverse shear related to the same force distribution perpendicular to the axial direction made so much sense too me. Thank you

Hi Sir Jeff! I just wanted to thank you for all the lessons and for making the subject much easier to understand ☺️

I am now graduating this month and it's 3am in the morning here that suddenly felt grateful to this man... I hope you get to read this 🥺

[KhalilJTK]

Just Wow!!!
Your way of teaching is so easy, and directly to the goal. thank you Jeff

[francischan]

oh god ! you've answered my confusion that has been in my head for the past few years

Damn thats a good explanation. I never understood why "t" equaled the thickness of both flanges on a channel when the point of interest was just on one flange, but now it makes sense, its transverse! I can think of it like a transverse plane cutting at the same level as that point!

[BlurredLinez]

You have great energy and explain it in a way that anyone can understand, thank you!

[jonbrooks]

Just passed mechanics of materials with an AB at UW Madison. Half way done with my engineering mechanics degree! Love ya Jeff

[RK-trwo]

Mind blowing explanation sir !! Great work !!

[manuboker]

Wonderful solids lessons!! really taking the time to explain the problems along with a good sense of humor :))

[xiaobaishishikanbale]

this is so awesome, maybe college is really a scam with all those boring and unethical lecturers who just read their powerpoints and not putting effort to make students understand. Thanks Mr. Jeff!

[ryandriscoll]

The legend - keep it up mate! Been watching your solids stuff from way back and you explain things infinitely better than my lecturer does. Bloody awesome job

[chouaadennoune]

You’re amazing! I look forward to studying with your video’s help. I love you!!

[randomman]

Professor, your lecture has been a help for me, is there a chance you will show mechanical vibrations next time?

[lucasferrazza]

I would like to mention that traditional shearing stress (parallel to the cross sectional area) is refered to as transverse shear at my university, whereas what professor Hanson refers to as transverse shear is refered to as longitudinal shear stress (perpendicular to the cross sectional area) at mine. I presume that this is something that others may have noticed as well.

some great videos come out after I pass a course
