MATH 6760 Continuum Mechanics: Solids
Fall 2002 3 credit hours M,W,F 10:45-11:35 SW 136
What is continuous mechanics?
Continuous mechanics studies general princples that govern forcible changes of shapes and forms which we daily observe around. It provides a uniform mathematical framework for investigating specific areas of mechanics such as elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, liquids, etc.
Particularly, we will discuss heterogeneous materials, stress localization and instabilities, expandable thermo-elastic and shape-memory materials, phase transition in solids, optimization, and self-remodeling of biomaterials. |
