All the modules in the following list need to be taken as part of this course.
Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
| Aim |
This module provides you with a fundamental knowledge of Continuum Mechanics. The classical theories, concepts, and the relevant mathematics are introduced. The module is aimed at giving you a good understanding of the motion and deformation process of solids and structures, which is essential to the design and analysis of engineering structures |
|---|---|
| Syllabus |
• Introduction to vectors and tensors. • Coordinate transformations of scalar, vector and tensor fields. • Kinematics of deformation process in the reference and current configurations. • Quantification of stress undergoing finite deformation for initial and current configurations. • Kirchhoff, Cauchy stress. • Conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy in the local and integral forms in the various reference frames. • Basic linear constitutive relationships for isotropic and orthotropic materials. |
| Intended learning outcomes |
On successful completion of this module you should be able to: 1. Practice all laws of continuum mechanics in terms of indicial notation and tensor calculus. 2. Analyse kinematics of a continuum and to drive its deformation equations. 3. Analyse the response of structural components to complex stresses. 4. Understand and apply the basic principles of continuum physics. 5. Practice analytical methods to the design and analysis of structural components subjected to different material properties. |
