About

About the course

Course content

Continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, phenomenology and physical mechanisms, thermoelasticity, plasticity (yield criteria, flow laws, hardening rules), viscoplasticity, thermo(visco)plasticty, plastic anisotropy, damage mechanics, large deformations, crystal plasticity.

Learning outcome

The course aims at giving the students a modern exposition of plasticity theory with emphasis on metals and alloys, including viscoplasticity (rate-dependent behaviour) and thermoplasticity (temperature-dependent behaviour), thermodynamics and internal variables, large deformations and crystal plasticity.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and project work. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If the teaching is given in English the Examination papers will be given in English only. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments.
