Microscale mechanisms and their relation to macroscopic behavior and mathematical constitutive modeling for advanced material systems. Emphasis on polymer viscoelasticity, shape memory materials, ...

The course will be self-contained but will rely on descriptions of the mechanics of deformable solids (MECH_ENG 327, MECH_ENG 362, or equivalent). The numerical computing environment MATLAB will be ...

The Mechanics of Multi-scale Materials research group uncovers the relationships of structures across the full range of engineering scales, from the molecular to the macro. In addition to established ...

Animations and demos: A repository of animations created from simulations of various conceptual problems in the course. Course information: Links for course syllabus, course schedule and other course ...

Explicit learning goals Interactive lectures Transformed homework problems (including a "bank" of potential HW problems) Common student difficulties & in-class group activities/tutorials Concept tests ...

How much do you wish you knew about carpentry, solar energy or masonry? Leonardo Da Vinci said, "the noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." Those who are open to learning and expanding their ...

The Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) research area teaches and perform research on mechanics of solids, mechanics of structures, and structural engineering. Our research spans ...
