This course will discuss state of the art theoretical developments and modeling techniques in nonlinear computational mechanics, for problems with geometric and material nonlinearities. Large deformation of elastic-plastic and visco-plastic materials, contact-friction and other heterogeneous materials like composites and porous materials will be considered. A wide variety of applications in different disciplines, e.g. metal forming, composite materials, polycrystalline materials will be considered.

The best aspects of the course were the interesting subject, learning an ancient language, and the instructor who kept the class engaging. Many students said the class workload was vigorous and came with a “massive” amount of homework. Some students felt the course could have been improved by lessening either the amount or pace of the work, or perhaps even by extending class periods. Prospective students should realize that the class was demanding and required students to budget time for regular study and memorization.
