Course Description

Stress and strain in three dimensions, fundamental field equations of linear elasticity; deformation: displacements, strains and compatibility; equilibrium; three dimensional Hooke’s law; energy methods and related principles; two- dimensional problems in elasticity; stress function solutions in Cartesian and Polar coordinates; torsion of prismatic and thin-walled members; stresses in thick and thin-walled pressure vessels and rotating discs; linear elastic fracture mechanics; anisotropic elasticity. Ethical and autonomous learning techniques will be employed throughout the course where relevant.
