Description: This course focuses on the mechanics of linear elastic solids. Topics covered include, but not limited to, (1) Formulation of the elastic problem for isotropic and anisotropic materials, ...

In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by Hooke's law: s = E e. E is an elastic constant, Young's modulus. A material exhibiting this behavior over ...

Prof. Sun’s team then fabricated a [100]-textured Ti₇₈Nb₂₂ martensitic polycrystal, which, when subjected to linear elastic deformation for heat pumping, exhibits a reversible ...

The objective of this course is to introduce graduate and senior undergraduate students to advanced topics in linear elasticity. Students will build on the knowledge gained through all mechanics ...

In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through Young's modulus, E, such that: Stress = E (Strain). Young's modulus is, ...
