me338A - continuum mechanics
ellen kuhl,
serdar goktepe, winter 2009 syllabus and set of notes |
goals
although the basic concepts of continuum mechanics have been established more than five decades ago, the 21st century faces many new and exciting potential applications of continuum mechanics that go way beyond the standard classical theory. when applying continuum mechanics to these challenging new phenomena, it is important to understand the main three ingredients of continuum mechanics: the kinematic equations, the balance equations and the constitutive equations. after a brief repetition of the relevant equations in tensor algebra and analysis, this class will introduce the basic concepts of small strain kinematics. within the framework of large deformations, we will then discuss the balance equations for mass, momentum, moment of momentum, energy and entropy. while all these equations are general and valid for any kind of material, the last set of equations, the constitutive equations, specifies particular subclasses of materials. in particular, we will focus on isotropic and anisotropic hyperelasticity. finally, we will briefly address variational principles that characterize the governing equations.
