ME I4500 Mechanics and Physics of Solids
A survey course covering several topics in solid mechanics and mechanical behavior of materials. Combines the experimental observations, underlying physical mechanisms and mathematical models. The measurable mechanical properties are discussed in the content of specific mechanics models. The topics include elastic deformation and stress, thermal stress, vibration, wave propagation, plasticity, fracture, fatigue, and linear viscoelasticity.
