Outline and Purpose of the Course | Continuum Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences concerned with the deformations and motions of continuous media under the influence of external effects. The following basic items are explained with exercises such as fundamentals of tensor analysis, Mathematical formulation of stress, strain, motion and displacement, Conservation laws of continuous media (mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy conservation laws), constitutive laws of solids and fluids, principle of virtual work and minimum potential energy based on the calculus of variations and applications in elasticity, stress distribution, wave propagation and fluid dynamics. | |||
Course Goals | Based on the clear understanding of the mathematical formulation on deformation, stress and constitutive laws, students are required to understand the derivation of the equation of motion, conservation laws of angular momentum and energy. Principle of energy, variational method and initial-boundary-value problems are appended for enhancing understanding through theoretical applications | |||
