Average Course Rating

This course will provide an in-depth exploration of the mechanics of solid and liquid materials with a focus on constitutive equations. The course will cover both linear and nonlinear equations and their applications to solid and liquid materials under various loading conditions. Topics will include stress and strain, (visco-)elasticity and plasticity, failure criteria, and fluid mechanics. Students will study the derivation and use of constitutive equations for materials such as metals, polymers, and (non-)Newtonian liquids.
