MEEN 606 Advanced Mechanics of Solids and Materials
This course presents the physical laws, mathematical methods, and computer algorithms that are used to predict the response of materials and structures to mechanical and/or thermal loading. Topics include: Fundamentals of solid mechanics, Review of Cartesian Tensors, Two and Three Dimensional Theories of Stress and Strain (Method of Continuum Mechanics, Theory of Elasticity), Isotropic linear elasticity and isotropic linear thermo-elasticity. Boundary value problems for linear elastic solids. Variational and energy methods. Linear viscoelasticity. Small-strain elastic-plastic deformation; nonlinear elasto-plastic material behavior. Failure modes, failure theories and fracture in solid materials.
