THEORY OF ELASTICITY AND PLASTICITY

Catalog description

This course provides students with fundamental knowledge of the theory of elasticity and plasticity. It covers the following topics: general stress and strain equations, equations of equilibrium and compatibility, and constitutive laws for elastic materials; the Airy stress function and its applications; plate bending; the basic three-dimensional theory of elasticity; and the basic theory of plasticity and yield criteria.(3 credits)
