Quebec Material 15 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course provides prescriptive requirements for the use of structural insulated panels (SIPs) in wall systems in the construction of residential structures. These provisions include definitions, span tables, material requirements, and other related information appropriate for use by engineers, home builders, design professionals, and building code officials.

The Prescriptive Method for Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) Used in Wall Systems in Residential Construction (Prescriptive Method) provides prescriptive requirements to facilitate the use of SIPs in wall systems for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings. By providing prescriptive provisions for the construction of typical homes with SIP systems, the need for engineering can be eliminated or reduced for most applications.

This online engineering PDH course presents the basics of industrial coatings and metal finishes. It discusses common types of industrial coatings systems, basic principles in corrosion, substrate preparation, cleaning procedures and more.

The term “paint” which is used to describe a liquid or paste typically applied to a surface through a variety of application methods; provides a protective coating against corrosion, weathering, and other forms of surficial decay.

This online engineering PDH course addresses the effects of thermal stress and thermal shock on a system. It explains how thermal stress and shock combined with pressure can cause major damage to components. This course also addresses ductile and brittle fracture. It describes how ductile and brittle fractures are affected by the minimum pressurization and temperature curves. It also explains the reason why heatup and cooldown rate limits are used when heating up or cooling down a system.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to structural and mechanical engineers, construction and personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of thermal stress and brittle fracture of materials.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the properties and behavior of materials, including stress and strain, thermal expansion, ductility, brittleness, creep, fatigue failure and more.

The purpose of this course is to briefly introduce several material properties and failure modes. A better understanding of these failure mechanisms will enable more appropriate decisions when selecting materials for a particular application. Even a basic knowledge and awareness can help design engineers to be better equipped in delaying or preventing the failure of a material or component.

Some general causes for failure are structural loading, wear, corrosion, and latent defects. Because most engineering materials contain discontinuities most metal fatigue cracks initiate from discontinuities in highly stressed regions of the component. Failure can occur in systems with moving or non-moving parts. In systems with moving parts, friction often leads to material degradation such as wear, and collisions between two components can result in surface or more extensive material damage. Systems with non-moving parts are also prone to material failure, especially when certain types of materials operate over a broad range of pressures and are subjected to extreme temperature changes or to high energy radiation environments.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, nuclear and industrial engineers, design professionals, facility managers and operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the properties and corrosion of material.
