Course Description
Introduces tensor analysis, deformation and strain measurements, stress
and its relation to force and moment, the basic principles of equilibrium,
geometric compatibility, and material behaviors. Discusses energy methods,
finite deformation theory, and constitutive equations. Applies these
concepts to the analysis of fracture mechanics, and thin structures.
