Teacher  

Djebar BAROUDI, Dr.


Main goals

• Understand the fundamentals of material modelling within the framework of continuum mechanics

• Comprehend the underlying physics and related mathematical description of key features of common material behavior (i.e., material models) in civil engineering related to their thermo-mechanical response

• Fully understand the material models within the computational tools commonly used in civil engineering with respect to thermo-mechanical behavior


Content

•   ELASTICITY   …  linear, hyper-elasticity, non-linear, isotropy, transverse isotropy, anisotropy, orthotropy

•   VISCOELASTICITY

•  VISCOPLASTICITY …  (creep - basics only)

•   PLASTICITY        ...  associative, non-associative

•   Damage  … this year 2018: damage-plasticity ex. Concrete Damage Plasticity,  Models in Abaqus

About the course supporting Material

•  In addition to the pointed chapters from the course textbooks for each topic, I will provide an additional learning/reading supporting material together with weekly homework series (3-6 exercises/week. Each exercise is marked (arvosana) 0-5 if not otherwise stated in the homework-paper).

•  The Lecturer's written material is not a collection of lecture-slides but it is a learning supporting material offered to help and motivate students in their reading from the course textbooks & elsewhere.

•  The topics treated in this intensive course cannot be avoided by future structural engineers: these topics will wait for them hidden, inside the FE-software you will use to perform structural analysis, in the black-boxes called material models.  This course is may be the right place for first meeting them in a friendly learning environment and opening these black-boxes.
