ME 652 - MECHANICS OF ELASTIC SOLIDS II

College of Engineering

Credits: 3

Continuation of EM 651 with more attention to the fundamental structure of and important historical and contemporary contributions to elastic theory. Extensive use of modern computational methods that were introduced in the first course will provide familiarity with the solution of larger scale, industrially important elasticity problems. Application of the boundary integral equation method (BIE) will be emphasized. Some use also will be made of the finite element method, primarily for comparison with BIE. Instruction will include ‘handson’ experience with digital-computer program packages.
