Introduction to the Mechanics of Solids and Fluids

Catalog description

An introduction to the dynamics of fluid flow and deforming elastic solids for students in the physical or mathematical sciences. Topics in fluid mechanics include statics, simple viscous flows, inviscid flows, potential flow, linear water waves, and acoustics. Topics in solid mechanics include elastic/plastic deformation, strain and stress, simple elastostatics, and elastic waves with reference to seismology. Offered in alternate years.
