Advanced Solid Mechanics

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Derive approximate solutions of engineering mechanics problems by using suitable assumptions; understand the nature of the approximations and their effects on the accuracy of the resulting mechanics-of-materials solutions; apply the principles of advanced mechanics of materials to analyze deformation and failure problems common in engineering design and materials science; prepare for success in more advanced mechanics courses such as elasticity, energy methods, continuum mechanics and plasticity. Prerequisite: Mechanics of materials, advanced calculus, differential equations.
