Institution:

Roberts Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to Cartesian tensors, infinitesimal strain kinematics, equations of motion. Models of material behavior: isothermal linear isotropic and anisotropic elasticity, thermoelasticity, linear viscoelasticity, and rate-independent plasticity. General principles in elasticity: minimum potential and complementary energy, reciprocal theorem. Formulation of linear elastic boundary value problems, methods of solutions for 2-D and 3-D elasticity problems. Correspondence principle of linear viscoelasticity, applications to simple structural components. Use of symbolic computations in the solution of BVP. When Offered: Spring term annually .
