For further reading I highly recommend Chapters 10 and 11 of "Materials Science and Engineering - An Introduction" (4th Edition) by Callister, which were of great use in preparing this video.

Stainless steel has earned its reputation as one of the most corrosion-resistant materials in engineering. But when used in the wrong environment, that reputation can be dangerously misleading. This is exactly what happened in 1985, when the roof of a swimming pool in Uster, Switzerland collapsed without warning, killing 12 people and injuring many others.

In this video, we explore the science behind stainless steels - what they are, how they achieve their remarkable corrosion resistance, and the unexpected failure mechanisms that can turn a trusted material into a critical point of failure.

This video explores one of the most powerful tools in engineering - calculus. By looking at how quantities change and how those changes accumulate, calculus helps describe and predict physical behaviour. In this video we work through the core ideas of calculus, from differentiation and integration through to differential equations and numerical methods, but with an engineering focus, linking the mathematics back to real-world physical behaviours.
