Course description:
This course provides a unified introduction to the fundamental principles of solid mechanics, from nonlinear continuum mechanics to linear elasticity, with an introduction to energy methods and selected advanced topics. Students will develop the mathematical and physical framework needed to understand deformation, stress, and material response, and will learn how to formulate and solve boundary value problems central to structural analysis, materials modeling, and related research areas.
Academic honesty/integrity statement:
Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.
