Structural intuition is a critical skill engineers need but is rarely taught in universities. In this video, Dr Jawed Qureshi explores:
• Four steps to mastering structural intuition.
• The importance of deflected shapes and force diagrams.
• Why approximate analysis is essential.
• How to test and develop intuitive structural behaviour.
Learn how to integrate intuition into design and decision-making for better results.
