Textbook: |
We will follow loosely Introduction to the Mechanics of a Continuous Medium, by Lawrence E. Malvern (Prentice Hall, 1969). This book focuses on the fundamentals of continuum mechanics as opposed to applied problems, and you should consider it optional. It is not required. I will put it on reserve in the library. I will also provide notes that cover all topics covered in the class. |
Homework: |
There will be approximately 4 assignments. |
Exams: |
One closed book Final Exam. |
Grading: |

Course Description:
This course will emphasize the basic mathematical and physical principles which underlie the mechanics of deforming solids. This includes a rigorous development of matrix and tensor algebra, as well as the physical concepts of mechanical equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and elastic and plastic constitutive laws. Broad coverage will be given to materials aspects of deformation and fracture. A major goal of this course is to give the background for a detailed study of mechanical behavior (Matrl220), elasticity (ME230), plasticity (ME232), and fracture (ME275). This course is a strict pre-requisite for ME230.
