CEE 2321 - ELASTICITY, PLASTICITY AND FRACTURE MECHANICS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course provides first-year graduate students with the fundamentals regarding mathematical derivations, mechanical models and numerical analyses in elasticity, plasticity and fracture mechanics. It is aimed at laying the foundations for the students for their future study and research in advanced mechanical problems. The main topics of this course includes: 1) equilibrium and compatibility in elastic domains; 2) complex potential method for elasticity problems; 3) plasticity fundamentals; 4) linear elastic fracture mechanics; 5) stress intensity factors; 6) cohesive crack model and crack band model; 7) size effect and scaling; 8) probabilistic fracture mechanics; and 9) micromechanics.
