ME 530 Solid Mechanics
This course provides the knowledge of mechanics, physics, and mathematics that concerns the behavior of solids under external actions including external forces, applied displacements, temperature changes, moisture diffusion, etc. Topics include kinematics of deformation and motion, Lagrangian strain tensor, Cauchy stress tensor, elasticity and plasticity. Also offered as ME 630 and may be taken only once for credit.
