EN1750 Advanced Mechanics of Solids
Course Goals: Students completing EN1750 will
- Understand the mathematical and physical foundations of the continuum mechanics of solids, including deformation and stress measures, constitutive relations, and failure criteria; have the ability to pose and solve boundary value problems involving deformable solids; and understand the basis for numerical methods in solid mechanics. Relates to ABET outcome (1)
- Be proficient in the use of a modern finite element analysis program (Abaqus/CAE) for analyzing stress, deformation and failure in components, assemblies and structures.
- Be able to apply the principles of solid mechanics to solve engineering problems and to design systems or components to meet desired needs, including (a) to idealize a system or component for the purposes of stress analysis; (b) to use appropriate numerical and analytical techniques to model the system; (c) to interpret and draw appropriate conclusions from the results; and (d) present results and conclusions clearly.
