MAE 6120 - Foundations of Solid Mechanics II

Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: MAE 6110 (Solid Mechanics I) or equivalent, a basic course in Finite Element Analysis (e.g. MAE 5700), MAE 6810 or equivalent. Homework problems will combine analysis and simulation using ANSYS and MATLAB.

A. Zehnder.

Topics are selected from the following: Dimensional analysis and normalization,Nonlinear beam theory (large deflection and buckling),Linear and von-karman plate theory, buckling of plates, Indentation problems (Hertz and Johnson-Kendall-Roberts theory), Thin film mechanics, Thermal stress and 2D elasticity problems.
