Ae 225 - Special Topics in Solid Mechanics: Linear and nonlinear waves in periodic media

Institution:

California Institute of Technology

Subject:

Aerospace

Description:

The course will cover the basic principles of linear and nonlinear wave propagation in periodic media. It will introduce examples of periodic structural configurations at different length-scales and their relation to wave propagation. The course will cover the fundamental mathematical principles used to describe linear wave propagation and will describe the fundamentals of weakly nonlinear and highly nonlinear approaches. Selected recent scientific advancements in the dynamics of periodic media will also be discussed. Not offered 2012–13.
