Course content

Stresses and strains. Elasticity and thermoelasticity. Anisotropy and symmetry planes. Linear viscoelasticity. Plasticity and viscoplasticity (yield criteria, flow law, hardening, effects of strain rate and temperature). Finite element method for nonlinear materials.

Learning outcome

Materials mechanics is an advanced course in solid mechanics for students who have chosen a major in structural engineering or industrial mechanics at MTBYGG, MTING and MTPROD. The course covers theories of elastic, viscoelastic, elasto-plastic, elasto-viscoplastic materials and provides an introduction to non-linear finite element methods. Materials mechanics has the following learning objectives: Knowledge: The candidate should have knowledge of: - Continuum mechanics for small deformations - Linear elasticity theory for isotropic and anisotropic materials - Linear viscoelasticity - Plasticity (yield criteria, flow laws and hardening rules) - Viscoplasticity - Non-linear finite element methods for small deformations Skills: The candidate knows how to: - Select the mathematical model to describe the behaviour of a material - Determine the parameters of mathematical models for materials from laboratory experiments - Perform element analysis of components and structures with non-linear material behaviour General competence: The candidate knows: - Mathematical modelling of materials - Parameter identification from laboratory experiments - Non-linear finite element methods for small deformations

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and compulsory exercises. 2/3 of the exercises must be approved to get access to the exam. 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.
