Continuum Mechanics
About
About the course
Course content
Tensor analysis in cartesian coordinates. Kinematics. The equations of motion. General stress analysis. General deformation analysis, small and large deformations, the kinematics of deformation. General principles for establishing constitutive equations. Material symmetry. Isotropic and anisotropic material properties. Linear and nonlinear elastic materials. Viscoelasticity. Hyperelasticity. Plasticity.
Learning outcome
On relatively simple examples the student shall be able to use the continuum-mechanical theory to describe and calculate deformations for a continuous medium. In addition the student shall be able to formulate constitutive equations and to calculate stresses and strain.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and homework assignments. The homework assignments are voluntary. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course.
