this deformed shape to stress distributions.These findings have implications for teaching MoM. In most textbooks and courses,relationships between external and internal loads and stresses are examined, and thenstrain and deformation are investigated. For example, the equations (sigma is normalstress) sigma = p/a, sigma = m*c/I, etc…, focus on the relationship between normal stressand internal load. However, our research suggests that students have a strong interest inand are able to observe and understand deformation much more than stress. Observeddeformations may be able to be quickly interpreted to strains by students. If this was thecase then this course could potentially be improved substantially by focusing on therelationship between
