Deformable solid mechanics

The aim of this course is to model continuous solid media, initially restricting ourselves to elastostatics under the assumption of small perturbations. The fundamental principle of statics is applied to deformable solids. The following concepts are introduced: tensors and tensor fields, algebra and tensor analysis, boundary problems, fundamental principle of statics, virtual power principle. Techniques for analytically solving classical problems and energy approaches are also covered. This course is fundamental to the training of students in mechanics, whether they are going into design or R&D.
