Fracture Mechanics and Plasticity

Catalog description

Advanced elasticity topics: plate theory, stress singularities at re-entrant corners, intro to fracture mechanics, mechanics of bonded interfaces, elastic contact mechanics; Plasticity topics: yield criteria in metal plasticity, deformation and incremental plasticity, elastic-plastic stress-strain relations, strain hardening, small-strain elastoplasticity (bending, torsion, buckling, disks and cylinders).
