Linear Solid Mechanics

Course content

The students gain basic knowledge in the continuum mechanical aspects of bodies such as solids.They are familiar with selected special cases and their model equations and are able to derive these equations. 

Content:
Solid Mechanics: Mathematical preliminaries, index notation· State of stress in three dimensions· Equilibrium and principal stress· Deformation, non-linear theory, Green and Euler strain tensor· Material behaviour· Plane stress and plane strain· Principle of virtual displacements and principle of virtual forces· Approximative solutions, Finite Element Method
