Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Be able to understand central concepts, theories and methods in the theory of elasticity.
  • Be able to describe spatial deformations with the use of theory of elasticity such that the geometrical, dynamical/statical and constitutive conditions are satisfied
  • Be able to understand the concepts of non-linear elasticity, viscoelasticity and plasticity.

Skills

  • Be able to account for the considerations necessary for applying the concepts, theories and methods of the theory of elasticity.
  • Be able to use correct concepts, notation and symbols.
  • Be able to use index notation and tensors in problems related to the theory of elasticity.
  • Be able to understand fundamental results pertaining to thermal stresses, inclusions, inhomogeneities, and dislocations.

Competences

  • Be able to use the theory of elasticity for determining displacements, strains, and stresses under different loading situations.
  • Be able to use results from elasticity theory in explaining material related problems on macro and micro structural levels.
