3. Course Objectives

Basic concepts in linear elasticity are reviewed. Governing equations and measures of stress and strain are introduced by considering kinematics of deformation and balance laws of mass, momentum and energy. Constitutive equations for linear elasticity are derived from continuum mechanics theories. Solution methods for various boundary value problems are studied in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions.
