Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.1.1 Introduction to Stress and Strain

Course subject(s) Module 1. Introduction to Aerospace Structures and Materials

In this first part of the actual content of the course, we will be introducing the concepts of stress and strain and their relationship. We will do this by first showing you a small experiment to visualize the concept. This is done by our virtual lecturer, Hannah Hypothesis. She is our expert in tinkering and exploring!

This is then followed by a short summary of the outcomes of the experiment before the first video lecture. For each subsection, we will also indicate the required reading in the accompanying e-book and provide you with a summary of the main takeaways of the course.

Good luck and enjoy!
