Continuum Mechanics and Material Modelling D

Aalto University

The beginning of the course covers the application of tensor notation<br />and the derivation of tensor equations. The basic laws and axioms of continuum<br />mechanics and of continuum thermodynamics are evaluated. The local forms of these<br />basic laws and axioms are derived from their global forms. Description of the<br />material models by continuum thermodynamics is practised with several<br />constitutive equations. The Levenberg-Marquardt method is used for determining<br />the values of material parameters from the experimental data. At the end of the<br />course the implementation of material models in the Abaqus program is examined<br />with the use of examples.
