Vermont Materials 30 PDH Discount Package 1

The online engineering PDH course addresses two aspects of metals. The first part of this course deals with the basic structures of metals and how those structures are affected by various processes. In addition, it contains information on the various imperfections and defects that the metal may sustain and how they affect the metal. The second part contains information on metal properties which are considered when selecting material for engineering design purposes. Each of these properties contains a discussion on how the property is affected and the metal's application.

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to structural and mechanical engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the structures and properties of metals.

This online engineering PDH course describes surface preparation standards, common methods of surface preparation, and abrasive type and selection methods.

Surface preparation is the key factor in determining the success of a protective coating system. The equipment and techniques that can be used to achieve the desired surface cleanliness and roughness (profile) vary considerably. Traditional methods of surface preparation are now accompanied by new, innovative methods that have evolved mainly because of the issues surrounding the safe removal of lead-containing coatings from industrial structures. The ultimate objective of surface preparation is to create proper adhesion of a coating over an underlying substrate.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of surface preparation prior to coating applications.

This online engineering PDH course describes the basic principles of lubricant additives, filtration, monitoring and sampling, and oil handling procedures.

This course is intended to be a practical guide to lubrication with enough technical detail to allow personnel to recognize and easily discern differences in performance properties specified in manufacturers' product literature so that the proper lubricant for a particular application is selected. In addition, this course discusses the considerations required to adequately maintain the integrity of the lubricants and ensure their effective performance.

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 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 provides information regarding the identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structures and engine materials.

Corrosion is the electrochemical deterioration of a metal because of its chemical reaction with a surrounding environment. While the aerospace industry is continuously developing new and better materials, progress is offset partly by a more aggressive operational environment and by the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon, which can take many different forms. The resistance of aircraft materials to corrosion can drastically change with only a small environmental change.
