  • AM 6130: Mathematical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    Describes the mathematical foundations of continuum mechanics from a unified viewpoint. The relevant concepts from linear algebra, vector calculus, and Cartesian tensors; the kinematics of finite deformations and motions leading to the definition of finite strain measures; the process of linearization; and the concept of stress. Conservation laws of mechanics yield the equations of motion and equilibrium and description of constitutive theory leading to the constitute laws for nonlinear elasticity, from which the more familiar generalized Hooke’s law for linearly elastic solid is derived. Constitutive laws for a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid are also discussed. The basic problems of continuum mechanics are formulated as boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Cross-listed as APMA 613.
