Congratulations To All Graduating Engineers Who Will Shape The Future!
Attention all graduating engineers! As you embark on your journey into the professional world, remember: the key to success lies in meticulous planning. Whether you dream of designing innovative systems or advancing engineering technology, becoming a professional engineer requires strategic steps and foresight. Join us in exploring the ins and outs of this exciting path […]
Master Rolling Wheel Kinematics Once And For All
Watch our video! Kinematics is the study of the geometry of motion. Of the most common of moving objects, the rolling wheel is probably the most studied. This presentation shows how the velocity of particular points on a rolling wheel are determined using the relative motion equation. The most important aspect of the relative motion […]
Special $200 Military Discount in May
Attention, Military Engineers! Dr. Tom’s Classroom is proud to support our military and former military engineers in their efforts to become Professional Engineers with a special $200 Military Discount in May. If you are an active United States military member or a United States military veteran, just follow the instructions on the DTC Website to […]
Zero-force Members
Watch our video! Zero-force members are associated with idealized trusses where all the members of the truss are two-force members. This means the members are connected only by pins, only loaded at these pin connections, and are in either tension or compression. However, some of the members of the truss may have zero force acting […]
Learn to Solve Dynamics Problems Correctly
Watch our video! This presentation looks at the classic motion of a vehicle moving along a level road, where it could be speeding up or slowing down. In the example presented, the vehicle is slowing down due to its brakes, and in fact, we are told the wheels lock up. What is required in the […]
Welding Symbols
Watch our video! One of the most important standards in machine design are those specified by the American Welding Society. In one symbol critical information about the required weld is provided, such as location of the weld, type of weld, and size of the weld. If there are two sides to the connection, the symbol […]
Turn Complex Motion into Clear and Understandable Solutions
Watch our video! One of the most common and useful mechanisms in machine dynamics is the “slider-crank.” It has three elements: the “slider”, the “crank”, and the “connecting rod.” The slider is in “pure translation”, moving back and forth in a straight path. The crank is in “pure rotation”, moving in perfect circular motion. Then, […]
Simplify Distributed Load Analysis With This Proven Method
Watch our video! Distributed loads appear in a great variety of problems, the most common being loadings on beams. This video shows how to replace the three most common distributed loads with a single force at a single location. These loadings include rectangular, triangular, and trapezoidal. Note that a trapezoidal loading can be treated as […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – “I Trusted the DTC Method and I Passed!”
“Just got the results back for the ME: TFS Exam, and I passed. I believe the DTC method of taking the exam is the ultimate make or break in passing this exam. After going through Doctor Tom’s Classroom, I felt confident with all of the material with the exception of maybe cycles. As I went […]
FEATURED FREE VIDEOS – Conservation of Energy explaining alternate forms of the Bernoulli Equation – Fluid Mechanics
Watch our video! Fluid Mechanics Sample Lesson from DTC’s Thermal & Fluid Systems Course Check out Dr. Tom’s Fluid Mechanics Lesson on the Conservation of Energy from DTC’s Thermal & Fluid Systems Mechanical PE Exam Review, explaining alternate forms of the Bernoulli Equation. You’ll see how DTC’s mechanical PE Exam prep can help you prepare […]
