Course Description:

This course will introduce basic definitions of strain and stress tensors, derive strain deformation relationships for finite and small deformations, derive compatibility conditions for strain tensors, equilibrium equations, and formulate constitutive properties of orthotropic and isotropic elastic materials; then introduce the Airy stress functions for 2-D plane stress and plane strain problems in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems.

Course Objectives:

The objective of this course is to introduce the student to the analysis of linear elastic solids under mechanical and thermal loads. The material presented in this course will provide the foundation for pursuing other solid mechanics courses such as theory of plates and shells, elastic stability, composite materials/structures and fracture mechanics.

Learning Outcomes

Students completing this course will be able to:

1- read current literature.

2- understand the basic concepts in continuum mechanics of solids, including strain, internal force, stress and equilibrium in solids.

3- characterize materials with elastic constitutive relations.

4- use analytical techniques to predict deformation, internal force and failure of simple solids and structural components.
