Mechanics of Material Systems: An Energy Approach: Course Description
'Mechanics of Material Systems: An Energy Approach' is a free course sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Franz-Joseph Ulm investigates continuum mechanics, which are concerned with kinematics and the mechanical elements of solids and other materials. There is a strong emphasis on thermodynamics, the study of energy movement in and out of systems. This not only enhances students' comprehension of materials engineering, but is essential to developing successful models and design for a variety of materials. The course focuses on four main topics. These include, deformative stresses and strains, momentum balances, elasticity bounds and, finally, plasticity and yield design. The lectures focus on a variety of topics, including infinitesimal deformation, thermo-elasticity and 1D-Plasticity. This course also reviews numerous applications in the areas of structural, mechanical and materials engineering.
The materials for this include lecture notes, assignments and exams. If you are interested in taking this course, visit the mechanics of material systems course page.
