CE 175 - Analytical and Computational Solid Mechanics

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

Investigation and application of intermediate concepts of mechanics, expanding upon elementary ideas covered in Engineering 75L. Topics include: generalized stress and strain relations and differential equations of equilibrium in solids; the theory of elasticity, including some fundamental solutions; failure and strength theories from mechanics; and plate bending. Introduction of the finite element method as a means of solution of plate and planar elasticity problems, including basic theoretical concepts and modeling techniques involved in applications. Assigned work will feature analytical work and application of commercial finite element packages. Prerequisites: Engineering 75L, Math 103 and 107 or consent of instructor. Instructor: Laursen or Dolbow
