The objective of this course is to introduce graduate and senior undergraduate students to advanced topics in linear elasticity. Students will build on the knowledge gained through all mechanics ...

All polymers have a distinctive degree of elasticity—how much they will stretch when a force is applied. However, for the past 100 years, polymer scientists have been stymied in their efforts to ...

The elasticity tensor is a fourth‐order entity that encapsulates the relationship between stress and strain in a material. Its symmetry properties reflect the underlying crystallographic or ...

In a crystalline solid, the atoms form an ordered lattice. Crystalline solids respond elastically to small deformations: When the applied strain is removed, the macroscopic stress, as well as the ...

Description: This course focuses on the mechanics of linear elastic solids. Topics covered include, but not limited to, (1) Formulation of the elastic problem for isotropic and anisotropic materials, ...
