Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

On this course, participants learn to read publications written in
tensor notations. By the end the course, the student will be able produce his
or her own text in tensor notations. Students will be familiar with the laws of
nature of continuum mechanics and the general principles derived from these.
The students will understand how continuum thermodynamics extends the view of
continuum mechanics to cover material models. During the course, student will
study how to test material models by the theory of internal variables. Upon
completing the course, the student will be able to use the Levenberg-Marquardt
method in determining the values of the material parameters from the
experimental data. He or she will also understand the foundations of mechanics
of materials, be able to implement a material model in the Abaqus finite
element program, and be capable of determining the values of the material
parameters.

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

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