Course Main
Topics:- Introduction
- Review Vectors, Matrices, Tensors, Notation
- Displacement fields, Deformation Tensor, Definition of Strain (infinitesimal vs. large deformations)
- Internal Forces, Stress definitions
- Generalized and Principal Stress
- Equation of Motion and equilibrium
- Work, principle of Virtual work
- Constitutive
Models: (e.g., Linear and non-linear elasitcity, hyperelasticity, time
dependent viscoelasticity, small-strain plasticity).

- Dimensional Analaysis Framework
- Elements of Numerical Methods
- Other advanced topics
- Projects (theoretical/analytical, computational and experimental)
Lectures/handouts:
Projects:
Projects from previous years
Books:
No book is required. I will personally follow ideas from the following
books and resources:
- A. F. Bower, Applied
Mechanics of Solids, CRC Press, 2009 http://solidmechanics.org
(free online)
-
O.C. Zienkiewicz, R.L. Taylor, The Finite Element Method (Volumes 1 and
2), Sixth Edition, Elsevier, 2005.
