Mechanics of deformable solids

The objective of this course is to model continuous solid media, initially focusing on elastostatics under the assumption of small perturbations. In this course, we will explore the application of the fundamental principle of statics to deformable solids. The following concepts are introduced for this purpose: tensors and tensor fields, tensor algebra and analysis, boundary value problems, the fundamental principle of statics, and the principle of virtual work. Techniques for the analytical solution of classical problems and energy approaches will be discussed. This course is fundamental to the training of students in mechanics, whether they are oriented towards design and engineering or towards R&D.
