Description: | Aims: To provide an introduction to the mathematical modelling of the behaviour of elastic materials. Learning Outcomes: Students should be able to derive the governing equations of the theory of elasticity and be able to solve simple problems. Skills: Problem Solving T/F A Written and Spoken Communication F (solutions to exercise sheets, problem classes) Content: Revision: Kinematics of deformation, stress analysis, global balance laws, boundary conditions. Further topics will be chosen from the following: Constitutive laws: Properties of real materials; constitutive law for isotropic elasticity, Lame moduli; field equations of elasticity; Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio. Elastostatics: Strain energy function; uniqueness theorem; Betti's reciprocal theorem, mean value theorems; variational principles, application to composite materials; torsion of cylinders, Prandtl's stress function. Some simple problems of elastostatics: Expansion of a spherical shell, bulk modulus; deformation of a block under gravity; elementary bending solution. Elastodynamics: Basic equations and general solutions; plane waves in unbounded media, simple reflection problems; surface waves. |
