About the course
Aim
This course in advanced mate¬rial mechanics aims at the understanding and computational use of materials that are elastically anisotropic, flow plastically or show creep behaviour. After the course the students will be able to:
- understand and handle multiaxial stress and deformation states,
- understand time-independent elastoplastic, time-dependent creep material behaviour and continuum damage mechanics, and explain simple manual elastoplastic analyses in a ‘conceptual-design’ context,
- perform elastoplastic, creep and damage mechanics analyses in a modern FEM environment and understand the particular computational implications and difficulties inherent in such analyses, and
- implement simple material models and understand the effect of the tanget stiffness regarding computational efficiency.
