Outline and Purpose of the Course Fundamental principles for dynamic deformations of solids and structures are examined. In particular, basic characteristics of elastic wave motion in solid media are emphasized. Dynamic responses and fracture behavior of materials and structures under impact loading are also considered.
Course Goals This course aims to establish the understanding of basic characteristics of dynamic deformations, elastic waves and fracture in solid media, as well as to learn about technological applications of elastic waves in a variety of fields. Particular emphasis is put on the mathematical aspects of the physical phenomena involved.
