MEEN 6200 - Theory of Elasticity

3 hours

Analysis of stress and strain in two- and three-dimensions, equilibrium and compatibility equations, and strain energy methods; torsion of noncircular sections, flexure, and axisymmetric problems. Topics include kinematics, balance laws, constitutive equations, nonlinear elasticity, classical small-deformation theory, formulation and solution of boundary-value problems of linear elastostatics.

Prerequisite(s): None.
