Material Properties 101

Stress and strain is one of the first things you will cover in engineering. It is the most fundamental part of material science and it's important you understand some of these ideas going forward.

The second channel fell through. I need a university to sponsor that channel and provide the course materials, I was hoping to just do the animation and narration. Still hopeful it will happen further down the line, but for now I just don't have enough time.

15 videos and 187k subscribers? Efficiency level: engineer

As a Materials Engineer I can confirm the information in this video is correct and a great introduction into materials.

[nelsondevera]

Wow, you've just summarized my 60 hour material science course in 6 minutes lol.

I've been in the trades my whole life. Tool & Die, Model Maker, Welding, and sheet metal fabricator. I got a degree in Mechanical Engineering while working nights, and I enjoy your series a great deal. It's easy to forget that engineering touches everything we use in our daily lives. Your series makes is easy to understand and appreciate what goes into these products.

It's pretty insane how much you've grown by just a few really high quality videos. So happy that it's going well for you, I hope that you keep growing so you can do this full time without having to think about economy.

I didn't have a good professor for my Strength of Materials class, and this 6 min video taught me more than his class did in 4 months. More videos on the concepts for material properties would be amazing! Specifically Mohr's Circle and its uses.

I retired a few years ago as a physical metallurgist. This video is well made. Thank you. "Youngs Modulus", brought back a lot of memories.

[MassMoment]

As a mechanical engineer, I find that your videos are excellently presented. They cater to those without much background in the subject while not insulting the viewer's intelligence. Well done. It would be great to see your videos in classrooms.

My first 3 weeks of material engineering class in 6ish minutes. Such nice work. Thank you.

I am just a guy who likes to spend his free time on Youtube, dicking around watching videos over space exploration and a few outlandish scientific concepts. I already have a hard time figuring out what to do with my life, and I'm currently doing an exchange year in Germany wondering what to study in college(or even study straight away at all ).

Finding your videos in my reccommeded list has really sparked an intrest for me in material science, a branch of science I've never really bothered to think to much about before, yet also made it clear to me that I would live to study some form of physics. It's so hard to be in a classroom thinking about when the subject material will be relevant, or staring at marvels of the world without understanding what intellectual work went into it (let alone understanding the work in the first place). So, thank you. And please, after watching your latest video on the power grid, keep up the good work

This should really be called "Mechanical Properties". Materials have all kinds of other properties such as thermal, electrical, optical etc.

Trust me on this m8, 1 channel is probably the better way to go, just less clutter(aka not needing to worry about not having uploaded a video to one or the other channel in a while), and the youtube algorithms like it more when you upload more videos on a single channel

[samo]

As a Metrologist who works with all of this every day, I just had to watch it. You did a great job

[stateservant]

Thanks a lot for this kind of videos. I am an engineering student, i use to visit your channel to watch tanks and aircrafts. Now i can watch your videos to pass exams. Thanks a lot for helping me by compressing hunderds of book pages to several enjoyable videos.

[SquatSimp]

The fact about the ships and Katana construction were super interesting! I love the real world examples in conjunction with the facts - thank you!

[jamesplayford]

I teach Design and Engineering at high school. This has to be the best explanation I have ever come across. It will be so helpful to my students.

[tomatocs]

I love your channel so much. I admire instead of saying "Oh this works because it has this, " you explain how it works and the math behind it. I love having a greater grasp on the world and your channel is perfect for that.

[jashencloma]

I'm a 3rd year engineering student in the Philippines I recently found this channel and the videos here can help me prepare for my majors

[ayanthasilva]

I've regained all the forgotten topics within 6 minutes, every single second some good hint and reminded me the beginning of the materials lesson. Thanks a lot. keep on going mate. These type of videos are absolutely useful.
